The Essential Apron - Alton Brown

The one that started it all. Born in a professional kitchen out of the need for something better. Tested by Michelin Star and Local Chefs, all over the world. Relentlessly refined for nearly a decade to be the perfect companion in any kitchen. This is it: The Essential Apron. The world's best apron.

Alton Brown was one of the earliest big-name customers of H&B. He even dropped by H&B’s tiny first office to visit us and create a custom apron together. So, ten years later, we decided to give our old friend Alton a call and cook up something new. This is the result. The apron print was developed by Alton (see it as a wallpaper in his “living room” on altonbrown.com), and is produced here in a beautiful black and gray look that’s both classic and yet a bit quirky – just like Alton himself.

This 100% cotton canvas mesmerizing blue apron is inspired by the iconic blue of vintage French workwear and the color of the aprons traditionally worn by apprentice chefs in France.
