Depending on how you feel about shop aprons, they’re either a super convenient way to store tools and keep your clothes clean, or a dorky accessory that just gets in the way. Honestly, I’m split about 50/50 on their use – when working on messy projects in clothes I don’t want to ruin, absolutely, give it to me. But other times I’d rather do without. That may change if I had the Silca Apron Premio. Not only does it look super pro, it has a number of features that help it stand out from the crowd.

Constructed from 12oz waxed duck canvas outer and 210D TPU coated nylon inner, the apron uses a strap design that eliminates a strap around your neck in favor of crossing in the back and buckling at the waist. Need to test ride a bike and don’t want to take the apron off? The split in the front makes that a reality (it also should make it more convenient to kneel down). A miliatary style Molle webbing field on the side gives you a ton of options to hang tools, and the apron features a pro mechanic inspired “hoody pocket” for storing tools or just stashing your hands in the cold.

Now available separately from the T-Ratchet and Ti-Torque set, the Apron Premio is in stock just in time for the holidays at $75.

That is quite a lot for an apron and would be quite a splurge for most shop mechanics.

maybe a splurge for those in the revolving door category. but a nice apron that works well and increases efficiency will win the heart of those who take pride in their work. …i love it.

Few of my friends wear US made leather aprons that cost 2x or more than this Silca. Not all shop mechanics are 20 somethings working for minimum wage.

Why on earth would anyone wear fancy clothes in a workshop, any workshop? I certainly never have, although Faliero Masi apparently used to – there are pics. It’s much easier to wear stuff that’s easy to clean and can be allowed to accumulate a bit of grease!

Any more info or pics of the straps? I’ve used two types of apron with straps that cross at the back. One (my favorite) has shoulder straps that are separate from the waist strap and are adjusted independently. The other has a shoulder/back strap that slips through the equivalent of a belt loop, crosses your lower back, and buckles at the other side. The result is, as you weigh down the apron, the waist strap gets tighter and tighter. Still better than a neck strap, but a deal breaker if you’re talking about the “ultimate” apron.
