Know before you buy
Unlike a standard apron that ties at the waist, the floral smock features a cross-back design that distributes weight across your shoulders. This provides a more relaxed, tunic-like fit that stays secure without needing constant readjustment.
The smock is designed with a balance of durability and comfort in mind. While it is robust enough to handle daily cooking and gardening tasks, it is lighter and more breathable than the heavy-duty canvas aprons typically used in high-heat commercial kitchens.
Yes, the design includes integrated pockets that are positioned for easy access. They are deep enough to hold essentials like a phone, recipe cards, or small hand tools without getting in the way of your movement.
To keep the fabric and print in the best condition, machine wash the smock in cold water with like colors. We recommend tumble drying on low or hanging it to air dry to prevent any potential shrinkage or fading over time.
The cross-back construction is specifically engineered to stay in place. By eliminating the neck strap, it removes the common issue of neck strain and ensures the smock remains centered on your back while you move.
