An apron that is only splash-resistant stops working the moment you deal with hot oil, and oil is what actually ruins clothes in a kitchen. This one is waterproof and oilproof, which is the specification that matters for frying, washing up and serving. The adjustable leather straps with a buckle are the other practical difference: they set to your height and stay there, unlike tie strings that loosen through a shift and have to be re-knotted with greasy hands. Pockets hold a cloth, a thermometer, a phone or a notepad. Suitable for home cooking, serving and professional kitchens, and available in eight colours.

Buying guide
Set the strap length once and leave it — that is the whole advantage of a buckle over ties. Wipe waterproof aprons clean rather than machine washing them every time, since repeated hot washes degrade the coating that makes them oilproof in the first place. Keep the leather straps out of prolonged water and let them dry naturally if they do get wet; leather stiffens and cracks when dried fast. Hang the apron rather than folding it, which sets creases into a coated fabric. In a commercial kitchen, keep a spare so one can dry.
How it compares
Against a cotton apron, waterproof and oilproof fabric actually protects clothes from frying oil rather than absorbing it. Against tie strings, adjustable leather straps with a buckle stay set through a shift. For baking, a light cotton apron is cooler to wear.
