Our chef aprons cover every station and every role — bib styles like the Wrinkle-Free Chef Bib and the bull-denim Satterfield Chef Bib Apron, the Supply Cross Back that lifts weight off your neck, and lighter waist cuts like the Shorty and Bistro for the front of house. Every one was designed by working chefs and put through real shifts. Compare the styles in the table below to find your fit.

Sizing & Care
Most of these aprons are one adjustable, unisex size — neck and waist straps dial in for a range of builds, so you don't need separate cuts for men or women. Wash cold, skip the bleach and fabric softener, and stick to low heat. Waxed styles like the Contra Pro wipe clean with mild soap between washes. Outfitting a crew? See bulk aprons for team pricing, or check the size chart for exact dimensions.

Bib, crossback or waist — how to choose
Start with your station. If you want full-front coverage, the bib styles are the workhorses: the Wrinkle-Free Chef Bib ties on straight out of the dryer, the Satterfield's bull denim takes heavy line use and softens with every wash, and the Supply's moisture-wicking ripstop polyester is built for the long shift and doubles. Need more real estate for sauté, fryer or breaking down proteins? The XL Canvas cut runs wider and longer than a standard bib.
Front of house and hot stations
If a neck strap starts to bother you by hour four, the Supply Cross Back buckles the weight onto your shoulders instead. For hot lines where you don't want to launder after every shift, the Contra Pro's waxed cotton wipes clean with mild soap. Behind the bar or on the floor, the Shorty sits low and out of the way of trays and rail bottles, while the roomier Bistro works across both FOH and BOH.
Prefer a lower-impact fabric? The Recycled Work Chef Bib uses a recycled hemp-cotton blend with a bit more structure than plain canvas. Whatever you pick, these were drawn up and tested by working chefs — browse the full server aprons range if the front of house is your focus.
