A DOUBLEWARE denim work apron dating back to around the 1940s.

This is an appealing piece with a practical, no-nonsense design characteristic of vintage American workwear.

The front features a small chest pocket and a large patch pocket at the waist. A metal buckle part is used at the neck, and hook-and-eye metal fasteners are used at the waist, retaining classic details that are rarely seen on modern aprons.

What is particularly noteworthy is the selvedge fabric visible on both sides. It is luxuriously crafted by utilizing the selvedge of the denim fabric as is, and it is a highly atmospheric detail even when viewed as vintage denim.

The woven label "DOUBLEWARE / UNION MADE" also remains intact on the upper back.
The vertical fading, wear, minor stains, and even the patina of the metal parts created by years of use give it an appearance that conveys the original background of workwear. You can also enjoy the aging process unique to denim, from the indigo that still retains its richness to the changes it will undergo in the future.

Compared to work pants and coveralls, denim aprons of that era were often heavily used as consumables, so the very existence of an old piece with a brand tag is a major appeal.

It is a piece with a strong presence, not only as a practical item but also as a shop display or collection piece.
