This apron is one of my favorite things I have ever bought full price. I splurged and am so glad I did. Running a small farm, this goes on over whatever I am wearing before I step outside each day and I love it. A true essential wardrobe item that I hope will always be available.

We’ve dug deep to come up with an apron unlike any other – flexible, tough-yet-lightweight, with the capacity to handle your plentiful garden output. Our Heirloom Gardening® Apron Smock is engineered with the same stretchy, abrasion-resisting ripstop nylon as our top-selling Heirloom Gardening Overalls.

I so wanted to like this smock but I hate it. The large zip up pocket is ugly, with the back side of the pattern showing through. It constantly slips off my shoulder. The back is too long. I like the weight of the material is about the best thing I can say. I'm donating it.
I was surprised by how this apron fit. I'm solidly a 2X/20W at Duluth, and I felt like this fit me snugly. I can't imagine this working well for women larger than me. I did not like how it had zippers to convert the length into a pouch. It felt awkward and clunky to use because of this. I had to stop and really look at it to get the zippers to line up. I think snaps would work better. I was also disappointed that on the printed apron, when the pouch was in use, the print wasn't on both sides so it looked awkward. I also felt the pockets in the back were very high up on the back. I was expecting them to be around where pants pockets would be, but as a tall woman (5'11") this hit me closer to my natural waist, much higher than I would like in a place that was difficult to reach. I think this is another case of Duluth assuming plus size women are short when we come in all sizes (their straight sized tops and jackets have longer sleeves than their plus size clothing). I love the concept but it's a definite pass for me. It may work better if you're under 5'6" and a 2X or smaller woman.
Definitely runs small. Good quality fabric and design but for size not what I thought it would fit like.
I love this apron. Pockets galore, easy access, hearty fabric. Spring summer and fall… this guy is going to see a lot of action. I have the other Duluth jumper but like that there are no straps to slid off your shoulders.
