Important! Cutoff for custom Silva Editions is December 8.
Sensing the presence of stragglers among you, we have prepared a small handful that are close to, or ready to ship. These are outfitted with our vintagized brass hardware in advance, so if speed is a priority, be sure to select that as your hardware option.
New! Head this way for a review of how the Silva Edition performed in a recent turning class withAshley Harwood!
As for that apron...
It's official! The Turner's Edition shall henceforth be known as The Silva Edition. You know, since Tom pretty much designed this beauty. Seriously, does it get any better than that?
And though we designed it with woodturners in mind, the stowable neck guard would no doubt provide some excellent added protection for a wide range of applications, from metalworking to power carving and many more.
Neck Guard is designed to prevent chips and shavings from getting all up in your business.... you know, behind the apron, in your tshirt and everywhere else. We've designed it to snap to the shoulder straps during use and to stow away behind the top of the apron when not necessary for the task at hand (you know, other stuff besides turning or what have you).
Apron Style/Cut
The Turners Edition comes standard in our All New Wide Cut, providing generous coverage around the sides to prevent errant flying whatnot from getting all up in your business. As an example, the 30" apron features an additional 6 inches in wraparound coverage.

Available in 4.5-5oz whole hide Classic Tobacco and Black Tobacco.
(Still working to determine if this design will work with our Bison leather)

Paolini Pocket:Generously sized, side-entry pouch design prevents dust and debris from collecting, without the need for flaps. If we were going to rock the pocket, this would be our choice.
