Linen is THE natural fabric. Thanks to its breathing fibres, linen is comfortable to wear all year long. Breathing and light during summer, it keeps warm during Winter. But for all of this we need to choose the right type of linen.
At Alaskan MAKER, we opted for washed linen: the qualities of the classic linen without its defaults. Baptiste presents it to you in this short vidéo. We bet you’ll be impressed.
That’s sooo annoying to wear something stiff that scratches and prickles. Raw linen is a noble material, but if it isn’t softened, it can be uncomfortable to wear. We opted for washed linen to solve this problem. The linen was washed multiple times to soften the fabric, which gives it this unique softness.
PS: it’s an apron, not a teddy bear ;)
We know a lot about light, badly cut and badly cut aprons. We studied and tested our aprons several times ourselves before choosing the ideal sizes and dimensions for the linen apron n°173.
Our aprons are one-size but they are adjustable through to the straps system. It can be fitted to any body thanks to the leather straps. You can choose between crossed straps in the back or neck strap and waist tie. It’s up to you!
You won't mind washing your apron, we promise. Linen can be washed between 40°C and 60°C to remove all bacteria. Washing will not damage your apron, quite the opposite! The washed linen will continue to embellish itself as it goes along, until it gets a beautiful patina and makes it unique. Magic, isn't it?
We do not recommend using a dryer as it could damage the apron. Unclip the straps before putting them in the washing machine, otherwise the leather won’t like it.
Linen won its spurs by far. It’s the world's oldest cultivated plant and oldest fabric. And there’s a reason for this.
The linen weave makes the fabric very robust. The Egyptians were already using it to protect themselves from heat.
And we don’t do things by halves: seams are lined and reinforced with rivets. You’ll be sure it’ll be strong enough for any hobby and last for years.
Good news! Linen is the least polluting fibre. It doesn’t require a lot of water, it grows naturally thanks to Mother nature. Even its production doesn’t need a lot of energy.
Light aprons never have pockets. How to cook, garden or make a great BBQ if we can’t carry our tools in pockets? We opted for a big kangaroo pocket within easy reach and two extra pockets. Simple and effective.
If you’re looking for a great gift idea, you should opt for a custom linen apron. You can embroider a lovely note or a cute nickname.
The embroidery is made in a workshop near Lille (North of France).
We designed the No.173 ourselves. A true Maker's job! From the idea to testing, including the moodboard and technical drawings... We created it from A to Z to offer you a beautiful, practical, sturdy, and, above all, useful product. And we're really proud of the result.
