Back in 1973 we got our friend Deborah Pratt Dawson to model our calico apron because the original photo from 1952 was looking a bit dated. Fifteen years ago sales fell off and we discontinued the apron, but recently we began to get requests from women to bring it back, so we started making it again. Deborah, who still has the calico apron she modeled in '73, lives in Connecticut now but gladly paid us a visit so we could have a then/now presentation of this long-adored vintage apron. Now she's happy to have the new apron, as her old one was getting a bit threadbare. We are delighted that women have come back to their senses—some misplaced fashion-sense in the '90s forgot that the primary purpose of an apron is to protect the cook's outfit—and again are wearing the classic calico apron in the kitchen. 60" drawstrings crisscross in back. 100% woven cotton. Machine wash and dry. Imported.

Old-fashioned calico apron for today's "new-fashioned" woman.
