Striped Aprons

Earn Your Stripes with our most Professional Striped Aprons

Many believe the expression to ‘earn your stripes’ comes from the military, but it in fact comes from the Butchers’ Guild, an organisation with roots dating back to 10^th century England!

Wearing a navy-blue apron with white stripes was compulsory if you were a member. Apprentices wore navy aprons with pinstripes and earned the thicker strips when qualified.

Today, the striped chef aprons is worn and appreciated by many as the classic apron, and is just as much at home in a café or restaurant as it is in a butchery.
