Linen Cross-Back Apron

A Japanese-style cross-back apron in linen, cut as a pinafore rather than a bib. The straps cross over the shoulder blades instead of pulling on the neck, which is the difference between an apron you forget you're wearing and one you take off after twenty minutes because your neck aches.

Because it goes over the head with no ties, it fits a range of sizes without adjustment and stays put while you move. It's the apron style worn in bakeries and pottery studios for exactly that reason — it works for a long shift, not a quick job.

Why you'll love it

• No neck strain — the weight sits across the shoulders, not the neck.
• Nothing to tie — goes on over the head in one movement.
• Stays put — the crossed back stops it shifting as you work.
• Six colourways — one size fits most.

Linen creases — that's the fabric, not a fault. It softens and drapes better after a few washes.
