Although this is called an XL leather apron, it is still one-size-fits-all; The main difference between this and the normal deluxe apron is the width of the apron; the extra material wraps around the torso more, offering more protection from messy work. This extra leather does make it suitable for those of a larger build, but it can be comfortably worn by anyone.
This leather apron comes with a neck-strap that you can adjust to change how high up the body the apron sits. Once set at the right height you can slip in and out of the leather apron with ease by simply passing the neck-strap over your head. There is also a waist-strap that can be tied round the front or back of the apron depending on your style preference.
The final touch of this leather apron is the large front pocket for stowing all your essentials, resulting in practical work wear you can count on for life. It’s the perfect solution for when two hands aren’t quite enough. Use it to temporarily set down your tools; store your mid-work snacks; rear a baby kangaroo – whatever you choose! If you find you need even more storage, you’re in luck: like all our leather aprons, the XL Classic Apron Deluxe has a towel strap that can be used to attach our leather tool pouch.
Like the rest of our deluxe range, we bring this full-grain leather in from a tannery in Italy. The hide is sourced from end-of-life dairy cows in the UK, Italy, and Northern Europe when they are eventually butchered for their meat; it’s hide that may otherwise go to waste. After the initial stage, we bring the new leather to our tannery in Waalwijk, the Netherlands and finish it using a unique process that leads to very high-quality premium leather. Then, we cure and treat this leather to make it highly resistant to cutting, staining, and marking, resulting in a highly protective apron that wears like cashmere and lasts you a lifetime.
Each of our leather aprons are made to order by hand so you can create your own personalised apron to make it unique to you. First, choose between any of our deluxe colours. We can then attach a metal tag with your name or company at the collar of the apron or engrave your name into the towel strap.
On top of this, we can engrave any pattern, logo, or name into the leather apron just for you, simply upload the image when you order to own a truly personalised apron – unlike any other in the world. To do this we burn the logo into top layer of leather on the tool pouch with a laser before painting it in the colour of your choosing, creating a beautiful finish.
Our leather aprons are extremely easy to clean. The leather that we use is tanned, cured, and coated with a special technique that renders it water and stain proof. Because of this coating, when your leather apron gets dirty you need only wipe it down with a soft cloth and lukewarm water – perhaps with some natural soap if it’s extremely soiled. If you want to keep it totally pristine, it’s a good idea to treat the leather with our leather conditioner once a month.

I originally encountered Stalwart Crafts at the Taste of London exhibition, and my lovely wife persuaded me to buy a basic apron, because she knew I'd fancied one for a while and had been put off by rather higher prices. Item bought.... then I discovered the website and this XL Cross Strap Apron, lol, apron envy kicked in! Happily Stalwart Crafts were very happy to take back my original purchase in PX for this, the Cadillac of aprons. So it cost more, but by now I didn't care, the quality is superb, heavy, dark, serious, makes me feel the king of the BBQ! Do I need it? No. Can I justify it? No. Do I want it? Hell yes! Total vanity purchase and I'm delighted.
Bob Murdoch 21 June 2022
Outstanding apron. Just received the XL cross strap in brown rustic leather as a gift from my family. Beautifully made, adjustable, super comfortable, looks fantastic and it'll improve with age. There may be better leather aprons on the planet but I doubt it. Order one today you won't regret it, failing that do as I did and beg someone near and dear to buy one for you instead! ????????
Shane Perry (verified owner) - 18 May 2022
Oh wow oh wow oh wow, I never expected it to be this good. I am a chef and had an apron from another supplier and it was too heavy and looking tatty. This apron however is so so light and so comfortable to wear and it looks amazing. So happy I went for the deluxe apron.

Amazing quality and beautifuly crafted Apron. The adjustable straps are great and easy to use aswell. Also received great customer service !!
Shawn winner 6 March 2021
I work as a meat cutter, and I’m absolutely loving my new apron! So far its holding up splendidly even with getting protein juices from pork, chicken, and beef on it in large quantities. The cross strap does wonders in eliminating the neck pain I would get from other aprons. Another bonus was the super quick shipping to the states. Thank you so much Stalwart Crafts, you’ve got my loyalty for life.
Kate 1 March 2021
Apron was bought for my partner as a birthday gift. He is delighted with it , and it seems a good quality product. Time will tell how it endures workshop use.
Bryony Farmer 28 February 2021
I ordered this apron for my husbands 60th birthday over 5 weeks ago and have not yet received it Tracking for UPS is dreadful . I am sure when/ if he receives his very late birthday present he will love it.
Kaisa Hammarlund 19 February 2021
Present for a very happy boyfriend. The customised details are such a lovely touch. The colour (whiskey) was a little bit darker than on the picture which I actually preferred so turned out perfect. Smell is divine, leather supple and the hessian bag a nice touch. Great service and craftsmanship . Highly recommend. Thank you!
S Marshall 18 February 2021
I received the apron today and I am absolutely over the moon with it. The quality and craftsmanship is excellent. The experience from ordering to taking delivery has been fantastic. I required the item in a short turn around time and was fortunate enough that the company were able to facilitate this. Highly recommended.
Patricia 5 February 2021
A splendid, quality item! I bought this for gardening, stained glass making and various diy/craft activities. For now I can't stop admiring its sturdy perfection - craftsmanship, texture, colour and the slight but delicious smell. I'm sure it will still look magnificent when it has matured and received a few battle scars! A real and practical pleasure to own.
Lal 2 February 2021
Great product. Nicely packaged too. Took a little longer to arrive due to Brexit challenges. This was a present and the recipient loved it. Can’t wait to use it for outdoor cooking after COVID is over.
Trish Sheldon 25 January 2021
Just beautiful! Style, colour, weight, texture, craftsmanship all perfect, plus a faint but delicious leather smell. I bought this to wear whilst woodworking, gardening, stained glass making and I'm sure it will be excellent protection for these activities and more. I'm looking forward to seeing how it mellows and matures with wear and battle-scars - I'm sure it will get even better with age!
Claire 24 January 2021
I bought this apron for my husband's birthday and it is beautiful. He is delighted. The workmanship is exquisite and I am sure it will last him for many years to come. It arrived in good time . Such beautiful craftsmanship - would highly recommend.
Aoife 14 January 2021
I was so happy with the quality of this apron and so excited about giving it to my partner at Christmas. She loved it and its now proudly displayed in the kitchen. The company were great to deal with and the follow up after purchase is such a nice touch. I highly recommend Stalwart, their products and customer care.
Aimee Kirkland 3 January 2021
Highly recommend Stalwart if you want tip top quality craftsmanship on leather goods. Brought the apron as a present and both purchaser and owner are incredibly delighted with this product. Fits him perfectly, great colour/cut and the tag just adds an extra special something. Thank you for all your efforts poured into making such a premium quality item. One very happy customer ?
Julie Crout 31 December 2020
Perfect. The fit, the cut of the leather, the colour and the craftsmanship that go into this product is amazing. Should take my husband off in his workshop for many an hour. Thank you. Forgot to mention the smell is lovely oh and the bag great!
Christopher French 28 December 2020
The quality of not only the product but the customer service is fantastic. The help I received from Tim ensured that the apron was received in time as a gift for a friend. The friend is a pattern cutter in the clothing industry and they were thrilled to receive the apron and commented on its high quality and workmanship. A great company all-round.
Susan Biddle 28 December 2020
From the very first phone call to my husband opening his Deluxe leather apron, the whole experience has been fantastic. I was unsure so rang to discuss which apron I should buy, what size etc., It is a beautiful apron, high quality and very well designed. My husband is very hard to please and I was concerned that he would not like such an extravagant apron. How wrong could I be - it was his favourite gift by far. If you are thinking twice, just do it - you won't regret it. Craftmanship such as this is extremely rare these days and it isn't made in China :)
Pablo 28 December 2020
Excellent service. Excellent product quality.
Kate Herriot 26 December 2020
Bought as gift for husband who is a sculptor - so can be quite messy. He loves it. Lovely quality, well put together. Arrived in plenty of time and beautifully wrapped with care. Would recommend.

Ian Crawford 23 December 2020
Totally as expected. The quality of these products is top. Leather so so soft. Looks amazing. Customers comment n say it looks smart especially with a nice flat cap.

Kirsten 29 July 2020
I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend´s birthday, I haven´t given it to him yet but I think he´s going to absolutely love it. The quality, color, and finish is gorgeous, I can see that it will last for years and years. I had asked to have the towel strap personalized with his name, but instead the metal tag was engraved. But to be honest, I like it as well so we can call it a happy accident. Great customer service and super fast shipping.
Risto Pukki 27 July 2020
Graftmanship is excellent , it fits like a glove. I tried it myself thus bought it for present.
Shiralee Morton 24 June 2020
Ordered for hubby's birthday and also towards one of his 30 wedding anniversary prizzies. As I have to put 30 together. The apron is lovely, great quality I ordered the gift bag. I'm really pleased as it's different and just finishes off my gift.

Perfect! great quality with the metal tag engraving it makes a great gift
James Hartland 22 June 2020
A thing of absolute Beauty. Received mine today at Hartland’s Master Butchers. Logo was branded. Name plate looks fantastic. Just wearing makes me feel a true professional in my field. Had so many comments from my customers on how great it looked. It’s so comfortable and fits a dream. Thank you guys ?
Elizabeth Lewis 17 June 2020
Very pleased with the quality of the product which ultimately is the most important requirement. I became increasingly anxious about the length of time for delivery as the item was purchased for a birthday present. But we’re in “unprecedented times” . A chase up email seemed to get things moving.
Reem Matar 20 May 2020
The Aprons are very nice,
Craig 16 May 2020
Top class service and absolute stunning Jack the Rip apron. ????
Erik 8 May 2020
I love my apron. The craftsmanship is great. I specially like the design very much. I've had a leather apron with a neck strap, but wearing that apron, gives me neck- and backpain. The design with the shoulderstraps avoids this. Gives also a best fit and wear it all day long. I love my apron !!!
Dinesh chainani 6 May 2020
really amazing
Taylor Fenton 25 April 2020
Ive had this apron for about a month now and it seems like it will last years with proper care. the only issues i had was a very small area (size of a pin head) of dye flaked off but was easily fixed with some black leather dye and a shoulder strap hole was also incompletely punched, but luckily i don't use that hole for my size. otherwise the leather quality is astounding and it is very comfortable and secure while being worn.
Rosemary Davies 18 March 2020
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for, quick no fuss ordering and delivery. Beautiful leather and very well made!
Paul 25 February 2020
I have been looking for ages for a leather apron with back straps like these for my wife since seeing them everywhere in Australia. I stumbled across an advert for Stalwart Crafts and ordered this Deluxe Leather Apron in Brandy. It really is a thing of great beauty. The leather is as soft as you could possibly imagine and the quality of the construction is superb. I am certain I will be buying more for friends and family, starting with the XL version for myself! A really great product that should last a lifetime and will be a joy to wear. Great job!
Deborah 4 February 2020
Very pleased with my purchase of the blackstrap leather apron bought for my husband’s birthday. He loves it!! It is very well made in genuine leather and he loves the personalised tag at the top. Disappointed though to see it’s now down in price!!
Hendrik 22 January 2020
This review regards order 36907. While wearing his new backstrap leather apron and doing his daily household chores in and around the house my hubby Eric looks very professional and sturdy. Due to the exceptional quality of the leather and fine craftmanship the apron looks beautiful and I'm glad I decided to give him this apron as a present for his birthday.

Maria 15 August 2019
Great quality product. Given as gift and recipient was very pleased!
Jenny Meehan 3 August 2019
This apron is excellent quality! My only fault would be the packaging - it didn’t match the same quality. (It just came in a slender cardboard box wrapped in a roll - no paper wrapped around it or anything) I thought after spending £133.25 on a premium quality item that the packaging would mirror the quality of the product. It was a gift (hence why the packaging was a disappointment.) Never the less I would definitely recommend buying
S. Brown 15 June 2019
We recently purchased the XL Leather Apron as a gift and are really pleased with the item. The leather is great quality and the recipient was really impressed (and he’s hard to please!) Delivery was also quick and efficient

If have he chance I will get a green one for myself next time. :))) Perhaps it was Christmas, hence we recieved it a bit late. Other than that, it was an awesome shopping experience.

The apron is made of supple leather and this is comfortable. All straps can be adjusted so that everyone fits. This apron is definitely recommended! DUTCH: Super kwaliteit en heel fijn dat het ook naar wens bedrukt kon worden. Wij hebben gekozen voor het brandmerken van ons logo en dit is super goed gelukt! Het schort is van soepel leer en dit draagt comfortabel. Alle bandjes zijn in te stellen, zodat het iedereen past. Dit schort is zeker een aanrader!

Duncan Barbour 3 August 2018
With a week of heavy duty grilling in front of an open fire and large bed of charcoal on an Argentinean Parilla grill made by Hoof Grills in Scotland I was looking for an apron that wouldn't burn, wouldn't stain and would afford me some degree of protection from the heat generated by the grill working for 10 hrs a day. The Stalwart Classic Cork Apron fulfilled all those wishes for me and at the end of the week whilst looking well used and a bit dirtier, ( I haven't given it a good sponge down yet) people were remarking on how smart it looked and how unusual it was. From an insulation perspective it didn't insulate as much as I had hoped it would but never did I feel that I would burn and given cork if pretty burn resistant that was never a worry as it would have been with a cloth apron. All in all really pleased with my purchase, fantastic customer service from Stalwart Crafts and the overall quality of this cork apron. I will be definitely be using Stalwart Crafts again. Next purchase will be one of their leather aprons with our Hoof Grill logo embossed on the front and probably some embossed aprons to sell as accessories to go with our grills.

I bought the blue deluxe apron for my sons Birthday. He was so pleased with his gift and fits/suits him so well. The quality is second to none and would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a leather apron, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t thank Alister from Stalwartcrafts enough for all his help and advice to choose the right apron for my son.
