Born from the need to protect against the hazards of hard work, BB BY BARONE’s 20-ounce oil-finished heavy-duty work apron is used by lumberjacks, carpenters, blacksmiths and many other professions that perform workshop activities. To create our iconic fabric, a tightly woven canvas fabric is saturated with a liquefied paraffin and oil mixture of wax under heat and high pressure, forcing the wax into the core of the all-natural cotton fibers. Our toughest waxed cotton fabric, with oil finish, resists tearing, punctures, water and wind to offer high reliability.
