Rough Linen

Embroidery on the pocket.
 Thanks to a reader's recommendation I have found the ultimate apron for Mop Philosophers everywhere: the Rough Linen Pinafore Apron.
 Pure good Orkney linen sewn up in the USA, it's such a beautiful and useful item.
Back detail.
 The criss-cross straps at the back make for a perfect fit, slouchy but not hanging in any kind of bothersome way.  I have such an issue with aprons that tie at the back of the neck, they cause a sort of low-level irritation and discomfort, and sometimes even a headache from the pull.

I've been wearing my pinafore apron from morning until evening, the large pockets are so useful and it is the perfect cover up for my current daily uniform: black or grey jumper with black pixie pants from JCrew.
With my teething puppy this is the only outfit I can safely wear these days: add in aubergine Hunter rubber boots and you've got the whole picture.
Many thanks to the reader who suggested Rough Linen aprons to me, if I could find the post I would thank you by name.
