Our Bespoke Process

"A custom leather apron is a tool you will use on every project." Patrick Melchior.

The most-used tool in your shop. Designed for any shop use, our Master Custom Workshop Apron is based on our Apprentice Workshop apron's legendary quality but with upgraded leather and hardware for even greater durability. And then, we add one-of-a-kind customization.

Each work apron includes a video fitting where our expert designers work with you one-on-one, tool by tool, to create a masterpiece that fits you perfectly.

Each work apron is individually crafted for the client; no two aprons are alike. We ensure the Master Custom Workplace Apron fits you perfectly, considering your needs and measurements. The custom design of the apron is yours. You decide which tools you want to keep close. We help with the tool placement and can provide insight into what works best for you.

NEW: Store your apron in style! Your custom apron will come with a newly designed, specially crafted, personalized hardwood hanger with a quarter-inch, solid-brass hook made by Patrick.

Apron details:

• Full-grain apron body, pocket, and straps

• Apron body custom in length

• 3-4 oz. medium weight

• Hand-selected hides

• Solid copper hand-peened rivets

• Machine-pressed strap rivets

• 316 stainless steel hardware

• Hemmed for structure

• Sizes S-5XL left or right-handed

• Custom-designed pockets and placement

Designed precisely for your body, each Dragonfly Master Custom apron is 100% made-to-order and sized using our proprietary 8-Way Live Custom Fitting Process. We start by mailing you a canvas sizing template that you wear during the video fitting. We’ll walk you through each sizing point to ensure a truly perfect “made just for you” fit.

Our fitting process is designed to make sure our aprons fit and work as well as you do, including taking into account:

• Arm Movements

  Leather is sized and cut for maximum flexibility and free movement as you work.

• Tool Reach

  Along with pocket placements, we allow room for short arm movements to easily grab hold of on-apron tools.

• Bending and Kneeling

  Sized and cut to minimize bunching during body movements.

***The lead time is 8 to 10 weeks AFTER the canvas template is received, depending on the leather in stock. Some photos may include upgrades.

*****Please note: To avoid additional costs, we recommend beginning the customization process within three months of receiving your Apron Template Information Package. After this period, any changes in pricing since the original purchase will apply. Should you choose not to proceed within this timeframe, we can offer a store credit for future purchases. Thank you for understanding our need to adjust for the rising cost of materials over time.****
