The Hallmark of Real Quality Leather
With the passage of time and regular use, The Smooth Leather Apron will achieve a weathered look called “Patina”. This patina is the hallmark of 100% high-quality natural leather. This gives it the rich, natural character traits and a unique history all on it’s own. With it, we create elegant and amazingly comfortable products, and make them available for down-to-earth prices that are realistic and affordable.
When Softness & Toughness BECOME ONE
The Smooth Leather Apron is one of the world’s toughest and most resilient lightweight leather apron ever crafted by human hands. It’ll protect you from harm, while at the same time gracefully withstanding assault from small debris, oil even fire... without losing its luxurious soft and supple texture, style and unbelievable comfort!
It never weighs you down or gets in your way!
Ultra light This apron weighs about 238 grams, which is about 3-5 times lighter than most leather aprons: you can wear it for hours on end, without ever feeling weighed down or worn out. In fact, you’ll barely even know you’re wearing it.
Super thin This apron is also thinner than most clothing and denim aprons on the market. It naturally adjusts and contours with your body movements every time. This means no more chaffing folds and no more clunkiness while you work.
Gracefully supple With the Smooth Leather Apron, no matter if you kneel down, bend over, or even dance and jump, all you’ll feel is a thin and protective layer of leather flowing with your body to protect you.
Apron Specifications
1. The Vintage Zammak Buckle
Zamak alloys aluminum, magnesium and copper with a base of 99.99% pure zinc. This makes for a much stronger stainless metal. This metal has been carefully and thoroughly brushed for a smooth and beautiful vintage finish.
2. An easily Adjustable Neck Strap
The adjustable neck strap lets you tighten up your apron as close to your collarbone as you wish. Feel free to tighten it up tight and snug, or let it hang loose on your chest. You can adjust it just the way you like it, every time, in a matter of seconds!
3. Ultra strong, Hardy Nylon Threads
Our unique Smooth Leather Apron has been crafted from small leather pieces which minimizes wastefulness from the overall manufacturing process. These pieces are then bound together using ultra-strong, hardy nylon threads.
4. Seamless form + effortless functionality
The borders of each piece are folded and sewn from the inside, which is the most delicate part of the apron. Their unique shape is carefully designed to protect you from harm without restricting or constricting your own natural movements.
The Universal Apron: One size really does fit all!
It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2Xs or a 4XL... or any size in between, our unique leather apron will fit your body perfectly every single time. You can be 5’1 or 6’5, a teen, a grown adult, a male or female...it doesn't matter. Our Smooth Leather Apron has been carefully crafted and designed to naturally fit any human body.
The Smooth Leather Apron has you covered (literally), with an “effective protection area” of about 90cm long x 57cm wide.
It also comes with a 12cm x 10cm chest pocket that’s sewn in half in order to fasten to everyday items you may want to have close to you at all times.
Keep your handkerchief within arm’s reach at all times thanks to the handy holding strap. You don’t even have to look before you grab it, saving you time and energy.
Whether you kneel down, bend over, or even dance and jump, all you’ll feel is a thin and protective layer of leather flowing with your body to protect you. It always stays close to your body to keep you protected, but also allows you to have the freedom you desire.

About
An Apron that’s deeply rooted in history and tradition
Each Smooth Leather Apron is created with passion and precision, that’s deeply rooted in rich leathermaking history and tradition. Every cut, every seam and every smooth edge is done the right way, to ensure that you’re only getting the best apron possible.
Meet the passionate people behind Zagazzi Every garment made here at Zagazzi is handmade by many highly talented and skilled craftswomen. These are hard-working mothers and daughters who have refined the craft of leatherworking from one generation to another, while keeping family values and traditions alive and well.
We came together and joined forces for the first time 25 years ago south of Bogota, Colombia, and now we’ve grown into a single, hard-working community every since. We believe that there’s no replacement for high quality leather products created from true craftsmanship. We build authentic products that will last an entire lifetime, and we love doing it!
We simply love what we do.
A clean and thoughtful manufacturing process When you consider the amount of raw materials, water and minerals or oils that are used during leather cutting and tanning, it can be a very wasteful process that adds up pretty quickly. That’s why we wanted to do things differently. We wanted to be more thoughtful and respectable to our planet, adopting several mindful processes into our manufacturing process.
Every ounce of water we use during our tanning process is thoroughly cleaned and recycled. This way it can become fully safe, drinkable water, and is never wasted. Ever. We also recycle our own chemicals so they can be used as fertilizer to help grow plentiful crops.
Furthermore, all of our aprons are created from small pieces of leather that are carefully sewn together in a specific shape and order, which allows us little to no leather waste whatsoever during our entire manufacturing process.
About our production Everything we produce is minerally tanned. Mineral tanning ions being much smaller compared to vegetable tanning molecules, they can also mix much better with the leather at a smaller fiber level that vegetable tanning simply can’t reach.
This allows for thinner and softer leather that’s much more durable, resistant to humidity, fluids and even “wear and tear” over time. We also test leather thickness and resistance in a very thorough manner during our exclusive manufacturing process as well.
DEFECTS: If you receive an item from us that has some sort of manufacturing defect, simply take a picture of the defect and email it to us. Once we confirm the issue, a new item will be shipped out to you for free.
