Our Story
“The aprons I wore in Michelin star kitchens couldn't stand up to the pressure, so I set out to make a better one: something as beautiful & thoughtful as the food I love to make”

about usDefinitely Buying More
I was skeptical about the expense, but I honestly can't imagine them ever wearing out so consider them an investment. I own two of them and wear them all the time. I will definitely be buying more in the future and getting rid of my old, flimsy aprons. Love them so much!

Holds Up Perfectly
I love the pockets, the loop for the towel, and the fabric is super durable. I just throw it in the wash, and it holds up perfectly. The crossback design helps prevent upper back and neck fatigue for those 10+ hr shifts too.

Industry Standard
It is one thing to hear and talk about “industry standard”. But nothing will make you a believer until you own one. Made with great materials, and by some great folks. They take a beating. And look amazing. Thank you Hedley & Bennett.

The Absolute Best
I’ve hesitated to purchase a H&B apron for years because of the price. I can now confidently say that they are worth every penny. The absolute best apron. Already ordered another.

Look Your Best
If you cook often, an apron is a must have, and H&B does a great job of still letting you express yourself with their quality aprons while you make a mess in the kitchen. Love the design on this one, so many cool details and an easy recommendation.

Beautiful Apron!
I have found in recent days I wear an apron more often than I do not. This is my second Hedley & Bennett apron and I adore it just as much as my last. Super cute, super helpful to protect my clothes, cleans up very nicely for those unavoidable stains.

Apron is Perfect
I’ve tried other cross-backs and they don’t fit as well. The fabric is the perfect weight, sturdy, but not too heavy. I’ve often admired the ones chefs wear on the Food Network. Took me a while to discover they are Hedley & Bennett’s.

Good as it Gets
Many restaurants in my neighborhood use H&B aprons so I’ve had a chance to observe how they wear and function. Besides also being stylish, the durability and quality influenced my decision to buy. I like that there are plenty of pockets to keep essential equipment on hand. I’ll be buying more.

Why Did I Wait So Long?
My goodness, why did I wait so long? So refreshing to see a company using cotton. Super comfortable and cool around the stove. Wash well and color doesn’t bleed. Worth every penny. These may be my first but won’t be my last
