Each one has it’s own story and place in my heart but, when it comes to aprons I tend to be pretty monogamous. My current love affair is with the American Craftsman Apron. It’s attractive to the eye, sturdy yet flexible, protective and form fitting all at the same time. This one fits like a glove. Over the last few years, I’ve found that the more I wear it, the better it feels. The removable snap on\/off chest pocket hold my small tools and any little pieces of jewelry I may need to tuck away while printing. I can detach the two bottom snaps so that I am able lean over and not have things spill out. Most other aprons lack the oh-so-important pica stick pocket (or ruler holder), but not this one. All around, I’d say it’s a catch.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hand-Eye Supply","offers":[{"title":"Olive Green","offer_id":162702162,"sku":"Vanport Outfitters and Hand-Eye Supply's \"American Craftsman Apron\" Olive Green","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy Blue","offer_id":8174945217,"sku":"Vanport Outfitters and Hand-Eye Supply's \"American Craftsman Apron\" Navy Blue","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Taupe","offer_id":8174946561,"sku":"Vanport Outfitters and Hand-Eye Supply's \"American Craftsman Apron\" Taupe","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/4252\/products\/AmericanCraftsmanApron1.jpg?v=1417289038"},{"product_id":"gaebel-printers-line-gauge-24","title":"Gaebel Printer's Line Gauge 24\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eLovers of lettering, rejoice.
