Hedley & Bennett

I love how the pockets keep all my grilling tools close at hand while I'm flipping burgers, and the adjustable neck strap actually stays put. The Pac-Man design gets a lot of laughs at cookouts, but it's the heavy-duty fabric that sold me.

My first time wearing it I had to double-check the pockets—there are three, one is perfect for my phone while I grill. The heavy-duty fabric actually repelled a splash of hot oil, which surprised me.

The material is thick enough to handle serious kitchen splatter, and the PAC-MAN print keeps a smile on my face even while scrubbing pots. It's surprisingly comfortable for all-day wear.

Finally, an apron that doesn't feel like I'm wearing a plastic bag—the cotton canvas is thick enough to actually catch splatters but soft enough to move in. I love that the adjustable neck strap lets me wear it comfortably over a hoodie, and the front pocket holds my phone perfectly while I'm deep in a game. Definitely my new go-to for weekend cooking sessions.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I love wearing this in the kitchen—the pocket placement is perfect for holding my phone while I cook. The adjustable neck strap is a nice touch, though I wish the waist ties were a bit longer for a more secure fit.
