No-nonsense protection is what this sturdy pit master apron offers. It was designed by BlueCut with input from Daniel Castillo, whose Heritage Barbecue in San Juan Capistrano, California, draws crowds for its Texas-style dishes. It’s also extra wide, made from flame-retardant denim with thicker stitching in the tummy area to insulate against heat, stitched with flame-retardant threads, and has a pair of pockets and a towel loop. It has jeans-style copper rivets and orange straps secured with leather, and it’s machine washable. Do we need to remind you of Father’s Day?
