Description

The Emberfield Chef Leather Apron belongs in a kitchen where the shelves hold spice jars, the counter is wooden, and the cooking is taken seriously. Deep burgundy full-grain leather, cross-back straps in matching leather with prominent gold coin studs at both shoulder junctions, and one wide lower pocket where your hand naturally rests between stirs. No chest pocket, no extra hardware. The gold coin studs are the only decorative note, and they earn their place against the rich burgundy tone.

Burgundy full-grain leather develops one of the more distinctive kitchen patinas of any color in this line. Cooking oil contact, steam, and regular conditioning layer into the surface over months of use, and what comes back is a deep, wine-toned leather that could not have been achieved without the work. The grain stays tight and moisture-resistant throughout, wiping clean between cooking sessions without leaving residue in the surface.

Storage

One wide open lower pocket sits at waist height where your hands rest naturally between tasks. It holds a ladle and a spatula side by side, or a folded towel alongside a thermometer, without cramping. The clean bib above has no pocket: nothing catches on shelves or cabinet handles when you reach across a busy kitchen counter, and nothing shifts when you bend toward a low oven. Simple, honest storage for a cooking apron that is not trying to carry everything.

Straps and fit

Matching burgundy cross-back straps with gold coin studs at both shoulder junctions keep the whole apron cohesive in color while the studs add a warm metallic accent that reads well against the deep wine tone. Cross-back routing distributes weight across both shoulders for long prep and cooking sessions. Made for the US market in sizes Small through 2XL.

Coverage and safety

Chest-to-mid-thigh deep burgundy full-grain leather covers the torso and upper legs from oil splatter, hot liquid, and steam during active kitchen work. Full-grain leather handles brief heat contact and moisture better than fabric. It is not fireproof. Cook safely with appropriate tools and safe heat management at the stove.

Care and maintenance

Wipe cooking oil and residue from the burgundy surface with a damp cloth after each session. Condition regularly with a quality leather conditioner to keep the grain supple and the color developing richly. The burgundy deepens toward a complex wine tone with consistent care. The gold coin studs wipe clean with a dry cloth. Do not machine wash or soak. Store hung or flat away from direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Emberfield fireproof?
No. Full-grain leather handles kitchen splatter and brief heat contact well. It is not fireproof. Cook safely with appropriate tools and heat management at all times.

Why gold coin studs instead of standard buckle hardware?
The gold coin studs at the cross-back strap junctions are a deliberate design choice: they add a warm, rounded metallic accent at the shoulder points that works well with the burgundy leather tone. They are fixed attachment hardware, not adjustable buckles.

What sizes are available?
Small, Medium, Large, XL, and 2XL. The cross-back straps adjust for fit within each size.
