The Maker Special Package

The brand new Maker Special is the result of everything we've learned about aprons over the past 10 years. And more importantly, how they are used in workshops everywhere, whether it's wood, metal, epoxy or any other starting point.

So if you've ever visited the site and wondered which options are best, or most popular, among other makers, then here you go.

Every Maker Special features:

Segmented upper pocket with D-ring (think dust remote, eyeglasses)
Generous side-entry Paolini Lower Pocket for your essentials
Double-Stacked pockets for the small stuff
Durable powder-coated stainless steel Tape Clip
Sturdy Towel Ring to keep your rags at hand

A full blown package representing our most popular features. As such, a pretty straightforward build on our end, allowing us to offer it with package pricing.

You read that right... package pricing. You'll save 15% on all Maker Editions, which means you're getting at least a couple of those sweet features listed above totally for free. (Note: Cannot be combined with other discounts)

A note on oil-finished leather

This leather starts out extremely soft, with an immediate broken-in feel and fit. Please be aware that oil-finished leather has the potential to stain light colored clothing due to it's varying, but high content of, well... oil.

A note on caring for your work apron

In the shop, we finish all our work aprons with Dr. Jackson's Conditioning Cream. A modest application will do good things to worn or dry areas. For hotter, dryer regions (or applications), we recommend modest doses of Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner with Beeswax. Don't apply too much or it'll get a little sticky.
