It’s important to take precautions to protect yourself and your clothing while working in the forge. Sparks, heat, and other hazards can cause irritation and discomfort, and can also damage your clothes and make it difficult to keep a clean and organized workspace. That’s where a Blacksmith Leather Apron comes in. Made of durable and long-lasting leather, these aprons provide an extra layer of protection between you and the hazards of the forge. Not only do they protect your clothing from sparks and heat, but they can also provide some protection against minor burns and injuries that may occur while working with hot metal. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the many uses of these aprons and how to choose the right one for your needs.
The apron is basically a slab of thin leather. I had it engraved which made it look even cheaper. The apron in the picture is very deceiving to the actual apron.
Neck strap is stiff and rough. Weight of the apron pulls down on your neck. There should be an X strap in the back to alleviate this. Otherwise leather quality seems adequate.
honestly, the quality is just not there. for the price and the amount of time it took for the product to be delivered, i expected it to look as advertised. accents are not brass, they're silver and they look cheap. the apron itself is very thin and doesn't feel like authentic cowhide. there's no even a zipper in the top pocket. overall, disappointed in this product.
Communication was difficult, but my friend was thrilled with final product. Turned out better than I expected.
