Bib Aprons

RAG Tailors bib aprons are made from premium materials specifically selected for each professional environment. For kitchens, we recommend high-density cotton aprons that combine durability and comfort. Denim is an excellent option for restaurants and bars due to its elegant appearance and superior resistance. We also offer technical materials with stain-resistant and waterproof treatments for more demanding environments. Polyester-cotton aprons offer excellent value for money, are easy to wash and resistant to multiple washes, maintaining their professional appearance for longer.

Bib aprons are distinguished from short aprons primarily by the additional coverage of the upper torso. While short (or waist) aprons cover only from the waist down, bib aprons extend all the way to the chest, providing greater protection from splashes and stains. This feature makes them ideal for jobs that require greater protection, such as cooks and chefs. Bib aprons usually include adjustable straps and often functional utensil pockets. Short aprons are more common for waiters or jobs that require less exposure to dirt.

Yes, RAG Tailors offers full customisation services for bib aprons, including high-quality embroidery, printing and screen printing. To request a quote, simply send an email with the references and the desired image. The delivery time for custom orders varies between 10 and 15 working days, ensuring a professional finish that enhances your brand image. Customising aprons not only reinforces your company's visual identity, but also contributes to a cohesive and distinctive professional environment, being a common practice in quality restaurants and hotels.

To maximize the durability of your bib aprons, we recommend following the specific washing instructions indicated on the label. Generally, cotton and polyester blend aprons can be machine washed at moderate temperatures (30-40°C), avoiding the use of bleach. For denim aprons, we suggest washing them inside out to preserve the color. Before washing, remove stubborn stains with a suitable pre-treatment. Aprons with personalization should be washed inside out to protect the embroidery or print. Drying in the shade and ironing at a medium temperature will significantly extend the life of the aprons.

An ideal bib apron for professional kitchens should combine functionality, comfort and protection. RAG Tailors models stand out for incorporating high-temperature resistant fabrics and anti-stain treatments. Essential features include strategically placed pockets for utensils, adjustable straps that distribute weight evenly, and reinforced fastening straps. The appropriate width and length ensure complete coverage without compromising mobility. Aprons with reinforced seams withstand the daily demands of professional kitchens. Quick-drying materials are particularly valued in intense work environments.

The investment in a professional quality bib apron varies depending on the materials, finishes and specific features. Basic quality bib aprons generally start at €25, while premium models in denim, 100% cotton or with special treatments can reach €50-70. At RAG Tailors, we prioritize offering excellent value for money across all ranges. Custom aprons have an additional cost depending on the type and complexity of the customization. Considering the superior durability of our products, investing in a quality apron translates into significant long-term savings for professionals and companies.

The choice of style and colour of the bib apron should reflect the ambience and image of the establishment. For fine dining restaurants, aprons in black, dark grey or indigo denim convey elegance and professionalism. In cafés and bistros, shades such as brown, olive green or burgundy create a welcoming atmosphere. Open kitchens benefit from aprons with a contemporary design, while bakeries often opt for light colours such as beige or white (although these require more frequent maintenance). RAG Tailors offers a wide range of colours to complement any existing interior design or uniform, allowing for a cohesive corporate image.
