FAQ
About Anything's Aprons
What is the difference between a front and an apron?
Unlike an apron that is tied at the waist, an apron is tied tightly around the hip bones (slightly below the belt), stabilizing the pelvis.
The big difference is that it protects the lower back by reducing the strain on the lower back when carrying heavy objects.
For this reason, it has long been favored by people whose jobs involve handling heavy items such as sake, rice, and miso.
What is the difference between [No. 1 Apron] and [No. 2 Apron]?
Both fabrics are Anything's original designs, but the thickness of the thread used is different; the No. 1 apron is woven with thread that is twice as thick as the No. 2 apron, making it a thicker and stronger fabric.
We manufacture "highest quality" No. 1 aprons and "standard" No. 2 aprons.
*About tags
The No. 1 fabric has the brand name "Border" in maroon on the bottom right, while the No. 2 fabric has the brand name in navy blue.
*Features [No. 1 Apron] Made from Anything's "highest quality fabric," it is thick, durable, long-lasting, and has a simple texture. It is light for its thickness because it is woven without packing the threads too tightly so that it will soften with use.
[No. 2 Apron] Made from Anything's "standard fabric," it is soft and supple from the moment you start using it. It comes in a cute rice bag package, making it a popular gift.
Will the color fade?
The color hardly fades, but please wash it separately from "white items" for the first few times just to be safe. It also meets the "washing fastness" standards of department stores.
Can I do laundry?
Yes, it is possible.
However, we recommend washing without fabric softener to prevent the print from fading.
Also, use a low spin cycle and hang to dry in the shade.
(Because the fabric is thick, it will be difficult to remove wrinkles if you dehydrate it too hard.)
What are the ingredients?
Both the fabric and the waist strap are 100% cotton.
About custom made aprons
What is the difference between semi-custom and full-custom?
Semi-custom orders are made by adding the text you want to include or a pattern, such as a maneki-neko (beckoning cat), that we have prepared, to our basic format.
For full orders, there will be an additional charge for plate production, but you can include your favorite illustrations and logos, and you can choose the layout freely.
For the semi-custom apron (5-place entry type), do I have to have text entered in all 5 places?
Please leave any fields where no text is required blank.
I would like to change the font for just the center character of my semi-order apron (5-character type)...
Please indicate this in the comments section at the bottom of the order form.
If you change the font in one place, there will be no additional charge.
From the second location onwards, an additional 550 yen will be charged.
Is it possible to make number 2 on the semi-custom apron (type with 5 entries) into 2 lines?
Yes, it will cost +500 yen. Please fill in the number 2 box so that the first and second lines are clear.
Is it possible to put an illustration in the center of a semi-custom apron (5-place entry type)?
Can I specify the length of the apron?
We do not offer individual length adjustments. Please choose from three sizes: long (67cm), short (52cm), and cafe (47cm).
I'd like to order a semi-custom apron (5-place entry type). Can I see an image of the finished product after I place my order?
You can download the image created by the simulator. Please use this. We do not store the image, so we cannot send it to you at a later date. Thank you for your understanding.
I wish it had pockets...
Yes, it is possible.
Please choose the pocket shape you want in the order simulator.
I would like to include my store's logo. Can you make just one?
If you want to add your favorite illustrations, it will be a "full order".
For the first time only, a plate making fee will be charged in addition to the apron fee.
(If you can provide vector data created in Adobe Illustrator, the plate fee will be cheaper.)
We will store the created design for one year. If you place an additional order for the same design, there will be no plate fee.
Can you make an apron in an original fabric color?
The minimum production lot is 300 pieces, but we can produce them in your original dyed colors.
We will provide you with a separate quote, so please feel free to contact us.
I'd like a wider apron...
The standard width is 47cm, but wider 67cm aprons can also be ordered in quantities of 20 or more.
Available in ecru or navy blue.
This costs an additional 1,100 yen per apron on top of the regular price.
I'd like to order in bulk, is there a discount?
Discount prices available for orders of 10 or more.
Prices and delivery times vary depending on the thickness of the fabric and the production method, so please contact us directly for details.
Can I include the name of my favorite artist?
Yes, you can create it as long as you write the artist name in a normal font.
Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot accept requests to incorporate the unique logos of artists, etc.
Can I include my favorite character?
If it is an original character created by the customer, we can fully customize it.
We are unable to accept requests for commercially available characters due to copyright restrictions.
Can you print in colors other than black and white?
If you want to change the color of the whole item (for example, light blue on ecru), it is possible to do so without any extra charge since it is a one-color print. Please write it in the comments section. However, if you want to change the color of only a part of it, there will be an additional charge, so please contact us.

About repairs
The weft thread at the hem has started to fray...
In rare cases, the weft threads may come loose at the bottom of the apron.
Gently pull the fabric to the edge and cut the thread with scissors to stop the fraying.
The "edge" tag on the bottom right also acts as a fraying prevention device, so it will not fray any further.
Can you repair my apron that I have been using for a long time?
We accept repairs even if the apron was not made by our company.
Please feel free to contact us using the repair inquiry form.
