British Leather Apron

British Leather Apron

Regular price £485.00

Our British leather apron is the new standard for expert craftsmanship. 

The main body of this exceptional apron is cut from a single hide from master British tanners at C. F. Stead & Co who have been the leaders in suede manufacturing and pioneering tanning innovations for the last 150 years.

This leather is extremely hard wearing and resistant to stains and can be cleaned care free.

Made in reverse, this leather is entirely unique in its tanning and its characteristics, it has a rugged and sleek matt finish on the outside and a soft velvety nap on the inside.

It has a medium handle which allows it to quickly form to your shape through wear and movement.

The highly adjustable cross-back straps are designed for maximum comfort and weight distribution as well as structural longevity.

The straps are made using the uniquely traditional Oak Bark bridle leather from the prestigious British tannery J. & F.J. Baker & Co.. A company who have been leading the bridle leather industry since it also began 150 years ago and remain as the sole makers of Oak Bark tanned bridle leather famed for its quality feel, strength and stability. 

Finally we have applied our metalware from a British foundry with a long held Royal Warrant.

We at Risdon & Risdon are proud to be able to use our passion for leather, quality materials and British manufacturing to create this ultimate composition of 'the best of the best' blend, of traditional and new British design, and manufacturing.

The ethos of our designing is to only create timeless aesthetics with no compromise to usability, to advance the practicality for professionals and to bring exceptional materials to our customers.

We have enhanced the design of this apron by using panels all cut from a single hide and reinforcing them. We do not hold back on the structural details applying a hem to the apron for maximum strength and lasting structural integrity.

You can add to this apron yourself by working with our designers to create bespoke pockets and attachments directly for your needs.

Additionally we can add branding and logos to your aprons.
