I am in the kitchen cooking, doing a project, in the garden, or cleaning for more hours a day than I care to admit. I hate to get nice clothes stained or having to take extraordinary measures to clean them. I have other aprons but they are now relegated to the bottom of the stack as of the arrival of these.Pros:They are a perfect weight to drape nicely but not end up weighing heavily on the back of my neck.I just received them but will update if there are any issues concerning the laundering of them. With my other aprons I always give the ties a loose slip knot before I toss them in the wash so they don't end up tying themselves around the apron or other clothes in yhe wash. It's a good practice and I recommend it for these as well.The ties are long enough to wrap around to the front comfortably (I am a six foot tall woman with a medium to large build).It is a long apron for pant protection (just above the knee) but not so long it can get wound around my legs creating a tripping hazard .The bib part is wide enough across the chest that it offers ample coverage without making me look like I added 10 pounds to my chestIt is elegant enough that if we are having spaghetti night together I can wear this to the table and it still looks great.Cons: The only part of the design that I don't care for is the positioning of the pockets. They are too close to the midline of the apron and look more like a kangaroo pouch than where a human would place pockets. If I put my readers in there, I am concerned that if I lean up against anything they will get broken. Anything in the pockets is either a hazard to me, the item, or just looks strange with a bulge below the belly button and above the groin. Personally, I just won't bother with the pockets so I didn't make a deduction in the overall rating for that one issue when I love all the rest of the features.Highly recommend.
