Blacksmith's apron

A blacksmith's apron is a protective garment worn by smiths to shield their body and clothing from sparks, hot metal, and debris during forging tasks. Usually made from durable materials like leather or heavy-duty fabric, it covers the front of the body, especially the torso and legs, providing a barrier against burns and scuffs. The apron often features adjustable straps for a secure fit and may have pockets for tools. Its sturdy design ensures safety while allowing flexibility and comfort, making it an essential item for those working with high-temperature metalworking processes.
