Leather For Aprons

[Nuttish]

For that kind of leather, you're talking about 1/32"-3/64" thick very light material. It would make a better garment or bag/lining than apron.

I second JLS' inclination to go with canvas. Have a look at Carr or Big Duck Canvas. They're both among the last US duck mills and both sell any quantities to the public with a cutting fee. Plus, hipsters love waxed canvas almost as much as single origin coffee beans, CXL, and listening to Carly Rae Jepsen without irony.

I'm a little slow to respond here but your drawing looks REALLY similar to this one:

for sale at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/tools/products/trvr-work-apron but as you can see it's a mix of waxed canvas and leather to keep costs down. I think this is what others were recommending for incorporating some fabric.

Oh yeah. There's only one choice for a barista. Chromexcel. They won't care that it's hot and uncomfortable. Because hipsters and Horween.

I'd suggest asking Maverick if they have any in ~3 oz. Anything heavier may make the piece too hot to wear all shift. It will be cheaper than Springfield.

Amazing response. I'd also check maverick leather. Great prices on Horween. I'd stay at or under 4oz.
