Early Edition Apron

The next time you’re preparing a Times recipe, put on our practical, durable apron and feel like a master chef. Whether tackling lemon roasted chicken wings or spinach risotto with Taleggio cheese, the Times denim apron will protect you from sauce splatter and grease stains while making you look like a well-read expert in the kitchen. For more than century, aprons were a fixture at The Times in its composing room, where newspaper pages were assembled by hand before the digital era. Aprons, displaying The Times name divided on three lines, shielded workers from ink and contained pockets to store tools of the trade, like metal rulers and X-acto knives. To create an updated version of the utilitarian apron for the kitchen, we turned to Everybody.World, the maker of thoughtful, eco-friendly goods and a champion of garment workers' rights. The Times apron has two centered front waist-high pockets and contains an adjustable strap, so the garment can be lowered or raised, depending on your size. It's made of heavyweight 10-ounce bull denim, 100% cotton fabric, giving it the heft to hold up during cooking wars in the kitchen or by the outside grill.
