Blacksmith Leather Aprons

Pride in your trade

                     Blacksmithing is an ancient and noble profession. Since the Mesopotamians figured out how to smith bronze 3500 years ago, traditional blacksmiths held a central role in society as the masters of making and repairing anything made out of metal, from longswords to nails. Since the industrial revolution, blacksmiths now fill the gap that machines can’t fill: making high quality intricate works that could only be made with experienced hands – ranging from chef’s knives to complex pieces of art.

A stalwart, dependable blacksmith needs tools they can trust to survive the hot unforgiving environment of the forge. This is why any blacksmith worth their salt since the medieval era has sported a blacksmith leather apron while they work.

Unsurprisingly, blacksmith leather aprons have existed as long as the profession. The oldest example is on an ancient statue of a Mesopotamian god. Almost revered for their protection and durability Pharaohs also used to wear ceremonial aprons reminiscent of Blacksmith Leather aprons, showing that we’re far from the first to see the beauty in this piece of kit!

Our rustic collection is a homage back to blacksmiths of days long past. Not only will they last you years, but you’ll look the part as well. Their vintage aesthetic is so authentic that we actually decked out the blacksmiths in the Ulster American Folk Park with some heritage leather blacksmith aprons, which are used in their living history smithy.
