Expert Review and Insights
The Southside apron immediately feels a cut above the standard polycotton fare. The viscose-linen blend has a lovely, natural drape and texture that looks fantastic in person, while the gunmetal details give it a modern, almost industrial edge. It’s a piece that proves practical workwear can, and should, have a strong sense of style.

- Pro: The fabric is incredibly lightweight, making it comfortable in a hot kitchen or cafe.
- Con: The linen content means it can wrinkle; requires proper hanging or ironing.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Grain Store', a popular bakery and cafe in Canterbury, was looking to upgrade their staff aprons from basic black cotton to something that better reflected their artisan brand identity.
"The moment our team put on the Southside aprons, the whole feel of the cafe shifted. They look so much smarter, and customers have even commented on them. The staff feel more professional and it’s really helped unify the team's appearance without a full, stuffy uniform."
Michael Davies – Owner
The change resulted in a noticeable boost in team morale and helped solidify the cafe's premium, well-crafted image in a competitive local market.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- To adjust, simply slide the gunmetal buckle on the neck strap up or down for the perfect length.
- The bib of the apron should sit high on the chest for maximum coverage.
- Optional coloured straps (sold separately) can be easily clipped on to the D-rings.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash at 40°C or lower to protect the fabric's colour and integrity.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting, or hang to dry to minimise creasing.
- For a crisp, professional finish, iron on a medium setting (2-dot) while the fabric is still slightly damp.
- Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the natural fibres and fade the rich green colour.

The Southside Touch: Uniform as an Experience
In today's competitive hospitality market, every detail matters. Southside understands that a uniform is more than just a piece of protective clothing; it's a vital part of your brand's story and the customer experience. This commercial kitchen bib apron green isn't just designed to be worn—it's designed to be seen.

It’s a small investment that pays dividends in brand image and team confidence.
Explore more from SouthsideWhy the Viscose-Linen Blend is a Game Changer for Comfort
You often see aprons made from 100% cotton or polyester, but this Southside linen bib apron uses a clever blend of 70% viscose and 30% linen. So, what does that actually mean for you and your staff? Linen brings that classic, slightly rustic texture and incredible breathability that’s essential in a hot, busy environment. However, pure linen can be stiff and is famously prone to heavy wrinkling.
That's where viscose comes in. It's a fibre made from wood pulp that is known for its softness, silky feel, and beautiful drape. By blending it with linen, you get the best of both worlds. The viscose softens the linen, makes the apron hang better, and dramatically reduces the creasing, making it far easier to care for. Think of it as adding a secret ingredient that gives you the premium look of linen with the everyday practicality and comfort you desperately need.
