Phillip, I don't understand what there is to be shy about, I don't think it is that unusual for a guy to wear an apron especially a pvc coated one like the one you describe. My husband thinks nothing of wearing his apron whether is family are around or not. OK, if you were wearing a pink frilly pinny then I would probably think it was a bit strange but a pvc promotional apron is absolutely fine.Phillip118247 wrote: »I wish i had the confidence to wear my pvc apron in front of my family..im just too shy!
I have a navy blue buzby apron i like and wear when i cook whilst my parents are away...! :beer:0 -
I am 31 and I love my aprons

I have about 5, but my 2 faves are ones my Nanny used to wear and I love wearing them. They are proper old, vintage ones and I feel there is something really special and homely about wearing an apron, especially wearing my Nan's ones knowing that she used to wear them everyday - might sound sad but that's the sentimental side of me coming out
From a practical point of view, they are a godsend, I get flour everywhere when I bake, and usually have a 3 year old "helping" me, so it definitely helps! She has 2 aprons too and cant wait to get them on :rotfl:I am starting a new generation of apron wearers!
I even have a special craft apron that I wear when doing messy stuff with her and it is the one I used to take to school for me Home Ec/Craft/Art classes - that's recycling for you

I have just got my daughter a pvc apron, she loves wearing it for doing messy jobs.

I don't wear one - though having baked bread today - I probably should! Somehow my black clothes look distinctly floury!0

I wear loose cotton tops that were made for me in India, kalmaar shameez. I find them big enough to go over my clothes, long enough to catch all the drips and being cotton easily washed.0

I wear a PVC domestos apron, pink and flowery, got it free with a couple of bottles of bleach ages ago, wear it for cooking and cleaning all the time, saves my clothes! I am 37 by the way. My Mum has always worn one, she is 62 now

I have a different pvc apron which I use for cooking and baking, I just prefer to use the domestos ones for cleaning. I like to pocket at the front very hand when cleaning.0
