Fire and Water Custom Logo

One of the special offerings of Forge-Aprons is the ability to customize your leather apron with your own personal logo and/or name. I enjoy seeing the different designs that folks have come up with for their businesses. Here's a logo that we placed on an Original Cut Forge-Apron for a blacksmith in Hawaii. The waves and sunburst surrounding the anvil just made me happy- almost like I was visiting Hawaii myself!!!! If you are interested in putting your custom logo on a leathe

We know how frustrating, and disappointing, it is to want something a particular way, only to have your wishes ignored.

Five Tips for Choosing a Comfortable Blacksmith Apron

Imagine you're playing in the fire, forging iron in your blacksmith shop. You're totally immersed in the action happening on the anvil but something pinches you every time you raise your hammer. You flick, you pull, you tug, but it continues to gnaw at your neck. It's not a bug that's bugging you, its your apron! Wearing an ill fitting apron can sure dampen your fun at the forge. Of course, going without an apron provides freedom of movement and occasionally the unique experi

What's With Those Epaulets?

Back in the 80's, I wore hair high, my skirts short and my shoulders padded. Shoulder pads, like high hair, are a thing of the past, except when it comes to the design of Forge-Aprons. Technically, they are not shoulder pads, they are epaulets. Unlike my football playeresque shoulders of the 80's, they are not there as a statement of style but as a functional addition designed to make Forge-Aprons the most comfortable leather apron on the market. How so? Basically, when you d

New options for 2017

Happy New Year! 2017 brings new developments in the product line of Forge-Aprons. We have been searching for and finally found a reliable source for a super-soft brown leather in a weight heavy enough to be considered protective. This soft, pliable leather is as thick as a quarter at 6oz leather weight. Look how supple and pliable it is! #softleatherapronforblacksmith #blacksmithapron #pliableleatherapron #bendableleatgherapron #protectiveleatherapron

Whole Enchilada Pocket

Another customized blacksmiths apron from Forge-Aprons! This lap apron or waist apron as some people refer to them was crafted to meet the needs of the smith ordering it.

There is a 2.5 inch pocket, a 7 inch pocket and a 10" pocket PLUS the Forge-Apron logo pocket for plenty of storage space! This photo features the standard riveted waist band and sp

What's the difference between a welder's apron and a blacksmith apron?

Why buy a blacksmith apron when you can get a welder's apron for a fraction of the price? There is a difference, and it's more than price. Leather source, weight, surface and density are at play. As both aprons are constructed of leather, lets look at the differences in the types of leather. Welder's aprons are sourced from suede splits which come from the bottom layers of an animal's hide. The lower layers of the animals skin are more fiberous and less dense than the top lay

Sweet Lap Apron for Blacksmiths

This sweet looking lap apron is heading out to a blacksmith in Georgia! Forge-Aprons waist aprons, or half apron as some call it, help preserve the blacksmiths pants, especially when a lot of work is happening at the layout table. All blacksmith aprons made by Forge-Aprons also include the unique and handy Forge-Apron logo pocket. Our Georgia blacksmith decided to add an optional hip pocket to his lap apron. At Forge-Aprons, you can customize your apron to suit your needs

What a lovely piece of kit...

Thank you for the gorgeous apron, it arrived in the mail recently but the day job has kept me a bit busy. What a lovely piece of kit, I am continually discovering well thought out little things (like the back straps can be adjusted and the pocket seams go around the rivets). I'll be wearing it for a long time! Here's a photo of my first fitting, I now have the straps setup for my shoulders and make sure they don't twist around like here on the right side. Don't mind the dog,
