Timberhand Custom Leather Apron

Handmade for the bench. Cut, stitched, and fitted to you — not pulled off a rack.

Timberhand is a leather apron built the way a woodworker actually works — reaching for tools, leaning into the bench, on your feet for hours at a time. Every apron is cut from leather between 1mm and 1.4mm thick and made fully to order, to your own measurements.

This isn’t a café or butcher apron with a woodworking label added on. It’s shaped around bench work from the first cut: pockets sized for a pencil and a folding rule, a chest loop for a tape measure, and a strap style built to carry a full day’s weight without wearing on your neck or shoulders.

Options You Choose

Choice	What to Tell Us
Strap style	Reinforced strap back, or single neck strap
Measurements	Height + chest/waist, or the size of an apron that already fits you well
Leather thickness (1mm–1.4mm)	Closer to 1mm for a lighter, more flexible feel; closer to 1.4mm for maximum stiffness and protection on heavier work
Personalization (optional)	Name, initials, or short text stamped on the front pocket

We confirm all details with you before cutting begins, since this is made one at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this apron good for woodworking?

Yes. It’s built specifically for bench work, with leather between 1mm and 1.4mm, pockets sized for hand tools, and a strap option designed to stay comfortable through a full shift.

Do I choose a strap style?

Yes — a reinforced strap back for even weight distribution across both shoulders, or a simpler single neck strap, whichever suits how you work.

How do I know what size to order?

Since it’s made to measure, we ask for your height and chest/waist measurements, or the dimensions of an apron you already wear comfortably.

What leather thickness should I pick?

Anywhere from 1mm to 1.4mm. Closer to 1mm is lighter and more flexible for detail work. Closer to 1.4mm is stiffer, with more protection for heavier carpentry.

How do I care for a leather apron?

Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use, and condition every few months with a leather balm. Avoid soaking it, high heat, or long direct sun exposure.

Can I add my name to the apron?

Yes, hand-stamped personalization is available as an add-on.
