Will my apron look exactly like the one in the photos?

No. Each apron is hand-dyed individually, so the tie-dye pattern on yours will be unique. You'll get the same color palette and overall look, but the specific swirls and placement will differ from the product images and from every other apron in the batch.

Does the tie-dye fade or bleed in the wash?

Wash cold with non-chlorine bleach and either hang dry or tumble on low. Following those instructions keeps the colors stable. Like most tie-dye, some slight softening of the brightest tones may occur over many washes, but the pattern remains distinct.

Is this apron sized for everyone or do I need to pick a size?

This is the regular Essential Apron size with an adjustable neck strap. The strap accommodates a wide range of heights and body types. There are no additional size options for this collaboration.

Can I wear this in a professional kitchen or is it just for home use?

The construction matches Hedley & Bennett's standard Essential Apron, which is used in professional kitchens. The tie-dye and graphics make it louder than a plain apron, so whether it fits your workplace depends on your kitchen's dress code.

Grillo's Pickles Tie Dye Essential Apron by Hedley & Bennett

Most collaboration aprons slap a logo on generic stock and call it limited edition. This one starts with Hedley & Bennett's Essential, a workhorse apron used in professional kitchens, then hand-dyes each piece individually so the tie-dye pattern varies from apron to apron. You get the pocket layout, adjustable straps, and cotton twill that make the Essential a go-to for line cooks, but with graphics and color that suit someone who'd rather wear something memorable than blend into the background. If you've outgrown plain black aprons but still need something that works through a full day of cooking, this splits the difference.

Good gift when

People who want kitchen gear that looks as fun as it is functional
Pickle enthusiasts who appreciate Grillo's offbeat brand energy
Cooks who need pockets and durability but refuse boring basics
Anyone building a collection of standout aprons with actual personality

If you're giving it

No sizing to guess

Hand-dye means the recipient's pattern will be unique but not chosen by the giver.

The maker

Hedley & Bennett builds aprons and kitchen gear for working cooks, the kind of gear that holds up through service after service in restaurant kitchens. Grillo's Pickles started in a Boston apartment, making refrigerated pickles with a crunch and a cult following. This collaboration pairs Hedley & Bennett's Essential Apron—already a staple for chefs who need pockets, adjustability, and fabric that doesn't quit—with Grillo's irreverent pickle-obsessed energy.

Each apron is hand-dyed in Los Angeles, creating tie-dye patterns that shift from piece to piece. The process means no production line uniformity; every apron carries its own arrangement of color. Sam Sam, the lounging pickle mascot, gets embroidered at the chest, and the brand's "chill out eat a pickle" mantra appears stamped near the towel loop, small reminders that cooking doesn't have to be serious to be serious.

The details

Every apron in this collaboration between Hedley & Bennett and Grillo's Pickles carries its own unique tie-dye pattern, no two exactly alike. The hand-dye process creates swirls of green and color across the full surface, giving each piece individual character you won't find repeated elsewhere.

Sam Sam, the Grillo's mascot, appears embroidered at the chest, while "chill out eat a pickle" is stamped near the towel loop. The graphics lean into the brand's playful personality without crossing into costume territory—bold enough to stand out, practical enough to wear every time you cook.

Built on Hedley & Bennett's Essential Apron framework, this version keeps all the functional details that make their aprons workshop and kitchen staples. The front holds multiple pockets sized for tools, thermometers, phones, and small notebooks. An adjustable neck strap lets you dial in the fit across a wide range of body types and heights. The towel loop sits within easy reach when you need to wipe hands or grab a hot handle.

One hundred percent cotton twill provides the base fabric, substantial enough to shield clothing from splatter and heat without feeling stiff or heavy during long prep sessions. The material softens with washing but maintains its structure over repeated use.

Machine wash cold, skip chlorine bleach, and either hang dry or tumble on low heat. A low iron smooths wrinkles if needed, though the tie-dye pattern hides creases well enough that many wearers skip pressing altogether.

Made in Los Angeles, this apron arrives ready to wear straight from the package.
