Chefkoch Five Star Chef Apron, Gold Print

Gold lettering for whoever runs the kitchen

Sunday roast or ribs off the rack, either way this apron settles the question of who is in charge. The hat is drawn as a golden line, the word Chefkoch stands large in curving white handwriting, and five golden stars deliver the verdict directly below it.

Gold against a dark ground

Those two gold tones in hat and stars are the only splash of colour; everything else stays white. On black and navy the combination reads most calmly, on red at its loudest. Give this away and you please the keen home cook just as much as the person who only picks up a wooden spoon at weekends.

Full marks, no small print

Every star is solidly filled and none is halved, so the design awards the top mark and declines to discuss it. That is exactly where the joke lands when the parcel gets opened at a first shared cookout.

Facts about the apron

• five colours: navy, royal blue, grey, black, red
• twill weave, polyester 80 % against cotton 20 %, face weight of 170 g/m²
• neck loop, bands of 78 cm each, knotted at the back

The artwork sits centrally and takes up a good half of the bib area, which makes it readable across the garden fence.
