Velilla 404204 polyester bib apron: light, dry and ready for the next shift
Being 100% polyester of 160 g/m², this apron has a very practical advantage over cotton ones: it comes out of the washing machine almost dry and wrinkle-free. In a shop or café that washes in-house rather than at an industrial laundry, that means the garment can be rotated daily with two units per person.

🧺 Care
Machine wash at medium temperature; dries very quickly.
Iron at low temperature, if at all: polyester hardly wrinkles.
Do not use bleach.
Not suitable for contact with flames or very hot surfaces.
💡 Tip: polyester is easy to care for, but it melts with heat. If the station is next to stoves, griddle or fryer, this 404204 is not the right choice: use the 100% cotton apron, reference 11. This model shines front of house, in shops and at the counter, where there is no direct flame and what matters is quick replacement.
