Barbers wore chequered aprons.
Stone masons wore white (stone dust).
Cobblers wore black (black wax used on shoes).
Butchers wore blue stripes.
Butlers wore green.
Weavers, spinners and gardeners wore blue.
“Aproneer” was a word used to describe a trades person.
My aprons designate time for doing things other than work.
