The word apron probably brings to mind the candy-colored fabric shields worn by prototypical Camelot-era housewives to keep their dresses clean as they iced cakes in their kitchen or pushed their vacuums around the living room. That scenario is a far cry from the environment where denim work aprons like this one were utilized by butchers, welders, glass blowers, wood workers, and other jobs in which participants need to protect both their clothing and bodies from occupational hazards and mess in general. The bib and wrap-around style were designed to keep clothes clean, while pockets made it easy to stash work necessities like tools. Needless to say, the best work aprons have always been made of materials like tough selvage denim that are durable, low-maintenance, and ready to withstand being abused by the wearer as he earns his living the hard way.

This work apron is made from selvage hickory stripe fabric, a traditional American textile similar to denim that folks characterize as being "rugged as hickory." A wardrobe mainstay of the forgers of the California Gold Rush and Civil War soldiers, it’s most commonly associated with railroad workers.
