Hospitality and Catering Aprons

Aprons for the hotel and restaurant industry should be made from materials that combine durability and comfort. At RAG Tailors, we mainly use durable cotton, high-quality polyester and fabric blends that offer protection against stains and splashes. For professional kitchens, we recommend aprons with waterproof and heat-resistant treatments. For table and bar service, we prefer lightweight but durable fabrics, such as treated cotton or premium polyester, which maintain their professional appearance even after frequent washing and intensive use.

Yes, RAG Tailors offers full customisation services for hotel aprons through embroidery, printing and screen printing. To request this service, simply send an email with the references of the chosen aprons and the image or logo you wish to apply. We will provide a detailed quote and, once approved, the delivery time for customised orders is 10 to 15 working days. Customising aprons not only promotes your brand, but also gives your restaurant team a professional and uniform look.

In the RAG Tailors catalogue you will find different styles of aprons adapted to different functions in the restaurant industry. French aprons (half-length) are ideal for table and bar service, offering mobility and elegance. Full aprons (chest and waist) provide greater protection for chefs and cooks. We also have models that cross over at the back for greater comfort during long shifts, bib-style aprons for professional kitchens, and minimalist designs for baristas and bartenders. Each style can be chosen in different lengths and with functional pockets for work tools.

To keep your hotel aprons in top condition, we recommend washing at moderate temperatures (30-40°C) to prevent premature fading of the fibres and colours. Aprons with stubborn stains should be pre-treated before washing. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, especially on customised or dark coloured aprons. RAG Tailors aprons can be tumble dried at low temperatures, but air drying is preferable to preserve the shape and colour. For special fabrics such as waterproof fabrics, follow the specific instructions on the label to ensure the long-lasting treatment.

The choice of apron color should be in line with the ambiance and image of the establishment. In professional kitchens, black and dark gray are preferred because they disguise stains. For formal environments such as gourmet restaurants, aprons in dark tones (black, navy blue) convey elegance and professionalism. In cafes and more relaxed environments, colors such as beige, olive green or burgundy add personality. Hotels often opt for colors that complement their corporate palette. RAG Tailors offers a wide range of colors, allowing you to harmonize aprons with the visual concept of your hotel establishment.

When choosing a professional kitchen apron, look for materials that are heat and liquid resistant, such as thick cotton (minimum 240g/m²) or blends with a water-repellent treatment. It is essential that it has reinforced seams in areas of greatest stress and adjustable fastenings for different heights. RAG Tailors models include features such as strategically placed pockets for utensils, cross-over straps to distribute weight, and an appropriate length to protect against splashes without compromising mobility. Opt for aprons certified for professional use that guarantee adequate protection against the specific risks of your kitchen.

Custom aprons provide multiple benefits for hotel and restaurant establishments. In addition to reinforcing the brand’s visual identity, they enhance the professionalism perceived by customers. They work as a marketing tool, turning your team into brand ambassadors inside and outside the establishment. RAG Tailors offers high-quality customization that withstands frequent washing, maintaining a professional appearance for a long time. Additionally, custom aprons strengthen the sense of belonging among employees, improving team cohesion and organizational pride, factors that positively influence customer service.
