"Sail Aprons" woven in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture.
As times have changed since the war, demand has declined over the past 30 to 40 years.
The quality of the apron fabric has also changed,
This time, together with Mr. Haga, who runs a weaving factory in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, the only place in Japan where aprons are produced,
The thickness of the 'No. 1 apron canvas' of that time has been reproduced and brought back to life in the present day.

The product will be available from October 2011 at Anything Shops and Anything apron retailers nationwide.
