FAQs
Is this apron suitable for women?

How do I clean grease stains?
For grease stains, pre-treat the area with a stain remover or liquid laundry detergent before washing. Wash in cold water and consider a second rinse cycle.
Will the color fade after washing?
Following the care instructions (cold wash, like colors) will help minimize color fading. Avoid excessive heat during drying.
What is the warranty on this apron?
Carhartt offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the official Carhartt website or product packaging for specific warranty details.
Can I modify the apron?
While users may choose to make modifications, please note that any alterations can void the manufacturer's warranty and may affect the apron's performance.
Is the bib pocket waterproof?
The bib pocket has a zipper closure for security, but it is not designed to be waterproof. It offers protection against dust and minor splashes, but should not be relied upon to keep contents dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Apron feels too stiff
This is normal for new firm duck material. Wear the apron regularly for extended periods or wash and tumble dry on medium heat to help break in the fabric.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris. Pull the straps firmly to adjust; they may loosen slightly with use.
Pockets seem too small for certain tools
The apron includes a variety of pocket sizes. Utilize the larger main pockets or the bib compartment for bulkier items, and smaller pockets for pencils or rulers.
