APRONS FOR BARTENDERS
Being a bartender or a mixologist is more than just making drinks for people. there really is an art to bartending and it can get downright dirty, at least for your clothes. one complaint we always hear from bartenders is about them ruining their clothes and having to always buy new digs. bartenders are expected to look good, but if you are always ruining your clothes it’s hard to do.
we interviewed kevin who is currently a bartender in st. louis, mo at 4 Hands Brewing co. you will hear him talk about things like which apron he uses from the knife & flag collection, which is the industry apron. he says it’s lightweight, durable and comfortable. when asked if he would recommend the apron to other people in his industry, he had a one word answer. “absolutely”.
KNIFE & FLAG...YOUR INDUSTRY’S GOLD STANDARD.
Kevin - Bartender
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF
"I’ve been working in St. Louis bars and restaurants for almost 10 years now. I’m currently working at 4 Hands Brewing Co. I was 26 when I realized bartending could be so much more than just serving drinks to people. The creative freedom and fulfillment of mixology are what drew me in. Anyone can make an Old Fashioned, but when a regular asks you to make 300 of them for the guests at their wedding, you realize how important a well-made cocktail is.”

Whether you’re casually pouring beer, cranking out hundreds of highballs, or meticulously creating intricate cocktails, you’re there to make the guest’s experience a positive one. The quality of their time at your bar is in your hands. Kinda cool.”

// TIGER STRIPE CAMO CORE APRON // DURABLE CLASSIC-LENGTH APRON, PERFECT FOR COVERAGE FROM CHEST TO MID THIGH...
Introducing the Tigerstripe Camo Core Apron. Tigerstripe camouflage quickly became the de rigeur uniform of American forces in the Vietnam War. Naturally, the pattern derives its name from the resemblance to a tiger’s stripes.
Our singular take on this exotic and unique pattern (we have interwoven the K & F monogram between the stripes and green and brown “brushstrokes”) pays homage to soldiers both past and present who have fought for the liberties and truths that define our country. And, dammit, it’s just cool as hell.
A great apron for all barbers, chefs and even tattoo artist if you want to add a nice fashionable look to your hard day at work. This apron looks as good as it is durable.
