Men USED To Wear the Aprons!
Ironically, the first aprons were anything but a woman's best kitchen friend. In fact, blacksmiths wore them, armor and weapon makers, gardeners, carvers, furniture makers, leather smiths, cobblers, tailors, jewelers, metal forgers, fishmongers, and clock makers. When you see old pictures of these craftsmen, you see men . Because for the longest time, aprons were commonly seen on men, not women. Vintage apron news!

- I guess vintage aprons tried to be fashionable too (the pictures with the housewife holding a cigarette). On another note it's crazy to think how much kitchen have changed. I've always had a fridge but back in the 30s and 40s they used iceboxes (which I guess is what I'm seeing in those pictures) and that compartment for what look like burning wood or coal.
