Velilla 5 long apron: the classic waist apron for front of house and kitchen
When your team needs a simple, tough apron that is easy to replace, Velilla reference 5 is the go-to choice. It is a long waist apron, without bib and without pockets, measuring 82 x 64 cm: it covers from the waist to below the knee and ties at the back in seconds.
✅ Features
No bib: put on and taken off without going over the head, ideal for shifts moving in and out of the kitchen.
Two adjustment ties at the ends: they knot at the back and fit any waist size.
No pockets: smooth surface with no seams where residue can build up; this is the format required by many food handling protocols.
190 g/m² twill fabric: enough body to withstand industrial washing without becoming see-through.
One size, unisex: a single reference for the whole team.
👷 Suitable for
Front of house and bar in restaurants, bars and cafés.
Kitchen and back office in hospitality and institutional catering.
Workshops, bakeries and pastry shops.
Food industry and food handling.
Catering and events, where a clean apron needs to be swapped in mid-shift.
Machine washable; the 65% polyester stands up well to repeated high-temperature washing.
Suitable for industrial laundry, the usual practice in hospitality.
Iron at medium temperature; the polyester limits creasing.
Avoid continuous use of chlorine bleach: it eventually yellows the white.
💡 Tip: if your team works with sauces, frying pans or grills, this model falls short at the top: with no bib it does not protect the chest or shirt. For hot kitchens choose a bib apron (references 11, 404204 or 404207) and keep the 5 for front of house, bar and back office, where quick on and off is what matters.
