Love it at first glance. It looks better in person, lovely colors, good quality linen with 2 deep pockets. No aprons ties to trip or worry over - sigh.
Ever since I saw them in South Korea (very common there for years) over a decade ago I have wanted one but not available in this quality in US...
Until now!!
Get it for cooking, gardening etc. it will keep your good clothing clean and you will look smart.
We have a tiny kitchen, so I'm constantly squeezing past drawers and cabinet handles. I like that this doesn't have long ties dangling everywhere getting caught on things.
