FIRE APRON FEATURES
Full grain leather is the highest quality part of bovine leather and is used for durability with a premium finish. The feel of this apron is light and soft but can handle a lifetime worth of stories around the fire.
One size fits most. You're able to adjust The Fire Apron by yourself with ease. The back cross hub can be adjusted up and down to create space for your bust or your stomach.
Comes equipped with a holster for your Donkey Tong 69cm. A thick leather strap designed to hold your tong close to you while you season your braai meat. No more "Where's my tong?", because its right where it should be, on your Fire Apron.
A hidden pocket is tucked away inside the top pocket of The Fire Apron. This pocket is designed for your phone so you can shoot POV content while you braai. It can also replace your headlamp. Simply use your phone light.
There's never enough extras. Extra clips, D-rings, pockets and even more pockets. We all Braai a little differently, but we always need a place to put things.
FAQs about the Fire Apron
The Fire Apron is built for life at the fire. Whether you’re standing around a braai or working over open flames, it protects you from sparks, splatter and heat while keeping your tools close. This is for the guy standing closest to the fire on purpose.
Leather is naturally fire-retardant, which makes it the perfect choice for working around flames. It can handle sparks and heat far better than standard fabric aprons, which can easily catch alight. However, as with all leather, just don’t leave it sitting in the fire.
Yes. It uses a cross-back strap system that’s fully adjustable, which spreads the weight comfortably across your shoulders. No neck strain and no constant adjusting.
It does. There’s a dedicated tong holder strap, a chest pocket for your phone (perfect for POV braai content or a light if you’re cooking in the dark), a clip and a loop for your cloth. Everything you need, right where you need it.
We like to say “one size fits most.” The adjustable cross-back straps make it easy to fit different body types comfortably.
Yes. We offer custom heat pressing for an additional R300. It’s a great way to make your Fire Apron fully yours or turn it into a meaningful gift for Father's Day, birthdays, special occasions, corporate gifting, or even just to let someone know that you’re thinking about them. Contact us for any corporate gifting solutions.
Yes, it’s packaged and ready to impress. We use a special handwrapping technique that will score you some serious brownie points.
Please note: the courier waybill is stuck to the outer packaging. If you’re sending it directly as a gift and don’t want the shipping label visible, leave us a note at checkout and we’ll double wrap it for you.
It’s the best gift. A leather braai apron is something most people wouldn’t buy for themselves, but once they have it, they use it every time they stand by the fire. Add personalisation and it becomes a keeper.
Wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. For long-term care, use a good quality leather oil to keep it soft and ready for many fires to come. Like any good leather, it gets better with age.
