White Bark Workwear Full Cross-Back Apron - Night Shade

Made from a medium-to-light weight 55% Hemp / 45% Organic Cotton Canvas, this apron is environmentally friendly, anti-microbial, and ergonomically designed. Organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful chemical herbicides and pesticides that would otherwise create run-off and contaminate the water supply for our oceans, our drinking water, and our food. Organically grown cotton combined with the anti-microbial, sustainable, and fortifying properties of hemp create a health-conscious and extremely durable apron. In addition, by committing to only using a dual cross-back strap design, our apron keeps your shoulders back and your back straight to keep you comfortable and pain-free throughout your workday, night or anytime in between.

*Please note that the color of stitching may vary from apron to apron

These glasses are made near the lake Tokurako in Obanazawa, Yamagata, Japan. This glass studio is located in Japanese "snow country" in the North - in winter when you look outside, it's all silvery-white snow outside, and nothing else is visible.  The summers are bright and very hot. This beautifully rich scenery, and the surrounding nature, inspire the craftsman. Ito-san hopes to reflect this nature and the kind, thoughtful people of the area in his art pieces, while preserving the "snow silver" pattern technique, for which he is known, in his hand-blown glass.

These glasses were designed to fit an entire 12oz can of beer.  The blue glass has silver flecks throughout.  The base is a narrow round base that widens as it goes up, with a slight flair at the top.

*these glass pieces are NOT dishwasher safe.

Nigiri basami are often used for sewing and general craft/household tasks. They are unique in that they have the spring action built into the handle. In use, they are held near the top area (where the blade is) and operated like tweezers. The craftsman for this line of nigiri basami is one of the very few in the world who still handcraft nigiri basami with traditional Japanese methods by hand. This includes welding the soft and hard steels by hand (he does not use pre-clad steel sheets) and free-hand forging the shape of the blades and handles without the use of large-scale/automatic machinery. This handcrafting allows very small but important adjustments to the shape, positioning of blades, and bounciness/tightness of the grip. Katamaru features one round-shaped blade (bottom blade) and one narrow/pointy blade (top blade). These differently shaped blades are designed for delicate fabrics like silk. The round bottom blade is designed to prevent damaging the fabric near or under the bottom receiving blade.

These scissors are made with high carbon steel. Like all carbon steel tools/knives, they can rust if not cared for properly. Please make sure to wipe them clean and dry after use. If you're planning on storing them for an extended period of time, we recommend oiling them with Tsubaki (camelila) oil or mineral oil.  If you see rust or if you prefer to not have patina, you can remove it with something like Flitz.
