We like the full coverage of this apron. Nice length. What doesn't show in the photo is that the apron edges are sewn flat with a zig-zag closure so that the denim won't ravel; it is not hemmed. Actually looks pretty good and especially masculine or utilitarian. Purchased it for my husband to wear when he serves soup at a homeless soup kitchen. It is heavy enough to withstand hard wear and should soften with washing as it is stiff on arrival. It would be good as a woodworking, gardening, or cooking apron. The neck strap is overly long to allow him to get it over his head so the bib portion flopped down too low to be useful. Immediately on receiving it I cut the neck strap, sewed two metal rings at the bib end so the neck strap is now totally adjustable by running the strap through one and back into the other ring. Such an easy solution you would think it would have been included. The waist straps are too short to tie the apron in front which hubby prefers and too short to allow him to tuck a towel into the waist straps (and he has a 32 inch waist). The waist straps need to be about a foot longer each to use as a front tie. The pockets are a plus and will be useful for carrying a pen, glasses, etc. About worth what I paid for it.

I was looking for a sturdy work apron for crafts, art, and other projects. After I saw another reviewer's comments about the size of the apron for smaller people, I wasn't sure it would work. But, being that I'm a creative person, I figured I could think of a way to make it work. The apron is top quality and I can tell it will last through many years of projects. The straps are excessively long for an average or small woman, but I attached some snaps and made it work just fine. All in all, a solid value and a quality product.

If you want a very very basic denim coverup to keep paint off your clothes, this is a good choice--but don't be too petite a person! The weakness of this apron is the length of the top strap--it needs to be adjustable in order to work for a smaller person. I'm 5'3" and only 90 lbs. It sits WAY TOO LOW to cover the upper body and cannot easily be raised. On a small person, the way the strap falls, the top will fall below the chest. I had to struggle to put a knot at the top to make it higher up so it would protect my clothes. As is, it is not good for someone less than 150 lbs or shorter than 5'7". It needs adjustable top strap. For the price, I guess it's acceptable because you kinda get what you pay for--but WATCH OUT if you are a smaller person!
