Built using the Original FORGE-APRON pattern, this unique leather apron could be called a half and half. The apron features a 14.5" long top half that is crafted of firm water buffalo leather. Water buffalo is known for it's dense fiber structure which provides excellent penetration protection along with a greater degree of blade deflection due to the firmness.
 
The 22" long by 24" wide lower half is crafted of our supple, oil tanned leather which allows the wood worker to sit comfortably while working. The lower section still offers a high degree of protection. The smooth surface sheds sawdust easily.
 
The leathers themselves are a mid-weight 5-6 oz. (Just a hair thicker than a nickel) The top and bottom are sewn together with high tensile strength Kevlar thread.
 
Quick adjust Flame styled buckles in front and an easy grip, quick-release snap at the side make getting in and out a snap. The adjustable, removable X-style back strap anchors the straps in place while working. The shoulder epaulets help disburse the apron's weight over more area making the apron more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
 
Standardly, this design does not include a pocket but you may choose to add pockets from our Customize section. Pockets are attached with Kevlar thread and rivets for added durability.
