Crossback Denim Apron
This is our first foray into denim, and we looked for fabric that would work as our linen does... a fabric that moves with the body, that protects your clothing but is not stiff or bulky. The indigo denim we chose stretches too, making for a comfortable fit.
The pocket is new too! We call it a "kangaroo pocket" and it is big and roomy, easy to access, and a great place to rest your hands, carry your phone, stuff in a towel, hold your tools.
We pay attention to the details too: our sturdy nickel-plated grommets and custom-dyed twill tape ties are American-made, of the best quality we can find. We cut and sew in small batches here in San Francisco, check each apron one-by-one, and tie them with a twill ribbon and a wash + care tag.
Easy wash + care: wash cold with dark colors, tumble dry on low or hang to air dry. Do not use chlorine bleach or dry clean.

- Linen is wonderful and luxurious. It’s one of the easiest fabrics to care for.
- The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
- It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
- Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
- It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
- Linen can withstand high temperatures.
- It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.
Tea Towels
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
- Line dry or tumble dry on low heat; remove while still damp.
- Ironing is optional. Some people prefer linen crisp and flat, others like it soft and natural.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
- We encourage you to use your tea towels daily and enjoy the patina that comes with age!
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
- Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp. There is very little to no shrinkage when washed this way.
- For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
- Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Well-cared for linen aprons will last for generations.
Stains
- Remove stains with soap and water while still fresh, before they dry.
- Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
