Hedley & Bennett

I was a bit worried this apron would be too thin for serious kitchen work, but the fabric is surprisingly sturdy and wipes clean easily. The adjustable neck strap is a nice touch for shorter folks like me.

The front pocket is deep enough to hold my phone and a recipe card without anything falling out while I'm moving around the kitchen. The fabric feels sturdy but not stiff, and it’s machine-washed well twice so far.

Finally, an apron that actually fits someone with broad shoulders — the adjustable neck strap is a game-changer. The fabric feels sturdy enough to handle sauce splatters and still look clean after a quick wipe.

I can fit a good amount of utensils and a towel in the front pouch, which is way more convenient than I expected. The blue Jays logo is stitched on cleanly, but the fabric picked up a small stain after one cookout.

The material feels sturdy enough for grilling, though I wish the neck strap were adjustable for a better fit. Still, the deep pocket catches spills nicely when I'm flipping burgers.
