A-0032 Apron "US Army Air Force" from US WWII Shelter Half & Leather
This quite elaborate Apron is part of a series of history- and movie-inspired Aprons trying to capture iconic styles from the past and being made as an interesting "What if" - garment.
You're into exotic camouflage patterns or other interesting salvaged vintage materials but already have all the bags you need - or can justify to yourself or your partner ;-) ? Well maybe this is something for you. Upon demand by several German Tattoo-artists looking for Aprons in interesting or basically any camouflage patterns in general I decided to stray from my usual bags again and make some Aprons for you guys. Naturally you can use them for all kinds of applications like making BBQ, in the kitchen or working or cleaning in your workshop.
Like with all of my products, each Apron is made by me by hand and thus each is unique in little details. The same goes all the more for those made from salvaged vintage materials. Nonetheless all come with a strap around the neck and two longer ones you can comfortably tie around your waist. Also most Aprons will have a large pocket with two dividers for small stuff and pencils.
This Apron was inspired by the jackets of American pilots in WWII which, just as their aircraft, were often adorned with "nose art" style paintings and kill marks.
The main part of this Apron was made from a US shelter half made in 1944. It shows details of the latter like grommets and seams but also shows its age and history. With this piece you obviously wont get a factory fresh item. There's the aforementioned large hip pocket and a smaller chest pocket with the former being made from a piece of recycled leather and faux pelt - thus creating the very look and feel of a WWII flight jacket, without having had to destroy a historic piece. The chest pocket has the right size for some pencils or similar. The neck strap can be opened and adjusted, both with brass hardware from an Army carrying sling and there's a webbing loop for tools.
The backside of this Apron is lined with material from the white canopy of a pilot parachute and on the front there's the hand painted stencils and a patch from the 8th Air Force.
This Apron will be sent with an authentic silk map like shown on the last photos. These maps were used specially by pilots as water resistant survival aids and worn as scarfs or sewn into clothes.
