  • Why label it so Sarah? :)

    CTC, that's the kind I wear here. As I said pages back they are very much a standard apron in many parts if Europe in my experience. Darned practical too.

    i love that style to be honest.. as to me it does represent the iconic image of hard working housewife/homemaker...when there were no washing machines.... and kitchen gadgets etc....

    i also have the image of them also with curlers in their hair and stockings wrinkling down by their ankles ..lol... a bit like nora batty or the cartoon house keeper in tom and jerry...lol...

    Not labelling it anymore than saying they are 'practical' or 'retro' is also labelling.

    people want a load of pics of aprons, good luck to them :rolleyes:

    So you don't wear one yourself then?

  • I love my aprons! I had one bought me for my (35th) birthday nearly a year ago and bought myself another a couple of months ago. I wear them when doing the housework, when cooking/baking and sometimes when eating a messy meal like spaghetti!
    COOLTRIKERCHICK- I have fond memories of my MIL wearing a wraparound apron like the one in your photo, and she often had curlers in and wrinkly tights too! Bless her.

    No it's not just you CTC. :rolleyes: It's all going over my head too but I'm actually quite relieved about that I think. ;)

    Hello there,

    Im 22 male and wear pvc aprons at home. Don't wear them in front of the folks as im very shy as to what they would say.

    Its a really nice apron that has a chicken called buzby on the phone and the slogan reading "Make someone happy tonight, give em a call...."

    I'm 28 and male. I too wear a PVC apron despite the narrow-mindedness of my parents. See my other posts. My two biggest problems are a) size b) non-femininity. Do you have the same problems? Where do you get your aprons from?

    Wow can't wait, some of my friends can't understand my love of aprons, but always try mine on when in my kitchen.
