Why Choose the Port Authority A801 Market Half Bistro Apron?

Denim-Like Sophistication: The yarn-dyed twill construction delivers authentic denim texture and appearance without the weight and stiffness of traditional denim. Your staff will look polished and professional while enjoying superior comfort and mobility.

Wrinkle-Resistant Performance: Unlike traditional denim aprons that wrinkle and crease, the A801's special fabric blend maintains a crisp, professional appearance throughout the day. Less time ironing means more time focusing on your customers and your business.

Functional Design: The patch pocket provides ample storage for order pads, guest checks, or small tools, while the dedicated pen pocket keeps writing instruments secure and accessible. Contrast webbing ties ensure a comfortable, adjustable fit for all body types.

Built for Daily Service: The 7-ounce fabric weight strikes the perfect balance between durability and comfort. Heavy enough to protect clothing and withstand commercial laundering, yet light enough for all-day wear without fatigue.

Decoration & Customization

The Port Authority A801 is an excellent canvas for custom branding. The durable cotton/poly blend accepts embroidery beautifully, with the patch pocket providing an ideal location for logos up to 4" wide. Screen printing also produces excellent results on this fabric. Many of our restaurant and catering clients add their logo to create a cohesive, branded uniform program that reinforces their professional image.

Care & Maintenance

Machine wash warm with like colors. Tumble dry low. The wrinkle-resistant fabric means minimal or no ironing required - simply remove from the dryer and hang. The yarn-dyed construction ensures long-lasting color that won't fade with repeated commercial laundering. This apron is built to withstand the rigors of daily food service use.
