It's great

| Justyne F. 22-08-2022 17:32

Love it! I use it as a hairstylist and I get tons of compliments!

| Brian g. 21-08-2022 02:35

I’ve been wearing this apron for 20 years. Whe one wears out, I purchase another without pause. It has been something I could count on for durability and all round ruggedness. Sadly, I’ve noticed with my newest one, it is clearly made of sub par material. The belt is paper thin, and the the center slot sits differently than before. I believe they used to be made in Mexico, whereas this one was made in India. Honestly Carhartt, let’s bring manufacturing back home and charge a few more dollars. I’d gladly pay more for a U. S. Made product. All of my tools are made here, it’s about time you guys bring it home. Thank you for reading!

| Maika M. 31-07-2022 17:10

I love this durable tool apron! <br />I've been searching for something to hold larger tools besides my pockets so they are easy to reach and also easy to remove when I need to set them down. This is perfect! It's easy to clip on and off as needed and is the perfect size to hold a small notebook too, which has been helpful.<br /><br />Only thing I'd change is to make a few slots in the front to fit a screw driver or wrench, etc, in addition to the larger pockets. I might just sew some in though. Thanks for the quality, durable product!

| Pamela W. 22-07-2022 18:16

It was a gift!

| Chick 15-07-2022 13:21

Been using these for 19 years. All of a sudden they change the size of the center slot. Can’t fit my tape measure in there anymore. Slop garbage.

| Kevin H. 03-05-2022 14:13

They changed everything and not for the better. Had it for a month before the rivets came undone. The pockets aren't as deep as they used to be, the belt itself has no rigidity so it folds under itself. The clip for the belt feels like its about to break. Why change something that worked so well. Sadly they made it cheaper to put profit above quality.

| Richard F. 14-04-2022 17:15

I bought this for my dad. He’s a “retired” electrician who opened a handyman business. He’s 78 and still works at least five days a week. What he really wants is the discontinued r28 carpenter bibs. This works, but the r28 would work better.

| Chris B. 02-03-2022 01:19

Replaced my last carhartt pouch that lasted me 10 years. Sad I had to get a new one but it’s great. Typical carhartt quality. Highly recommend

| john c. 28-02-2022 21:25

Good Product

| Savannah B. 24-02-2022 18:51

I gave this to my husband who works on trees. It’s great quality. I bought the medium option and found it to be a bit small - the apron doesn’t wrap around the hips at all like a typical apron. Still very nice looking.

| Fred J. 17-12-2021 02:04

Whether I’m working on electrical or Plumbing I always have a small selection of hand tools pulling my pants down! This durable tool apron has solved that problem.

| Chris A. 10-12-2021 19:03

Perfect for the job at hand<br />I have bought several of the aprons over the years and will continue to do so

| Seth W. 07-12-2021 12:03

Love them. I own 3

| Peter B. 04-12-2021 22:47

Last for mouths .like it.

| jill b. 30-11-2021 22:45

It’s great!

| Selem V. 31-05-2021 03:40

Perfect size! Will have access to my supplies as I walk the classroom.

| Maryann R. 30-04-2021 19:08

Exactly as described

| Richard E. 26-04-2021 17:02

I like the durability and the ease of putting the apron on and off. It stays put in the wind and is easy to access what is in the pockets and pouches. Excellent item.

| Catherine B. 01-03-2021 19:02

Strong, sturdy and insanely handy for garden projects. I wear it backwards like a fanny pack and haven't misplaced my gloves, hand tools, or phone since. My only wishes are that one or two of the large pockets were divided further (tools fall to the bottom of pockets instead of standing up like they do in the photo), and that the waist could be cinched smaller—I got the smallest size and still had to take mine in with a sewing machine. Despite that, would definitely recommend!

| Paul P. 01-03-2021 01:58

Great and sturdy

| Matt O. 15-02-2021 02:18

Been using this apron for 6 months now, i love it. The buckle quality is good and holds all my tools i need for a days work. Only problem i had was the waist was too big, i wound ups folding and sewing about an inch out of the waist. Other then that i love this apron.

| Tom R. 13-02-2021 06:00

It is a good buy

| Thomas M. 08-02-2021 18:14

I don’t like the weight and bulk of a normal tool belt. This comes in handy when I am working on ladders, building decks and framing.I will be getting another one for a back up.

| Gary R. 06-02-2021 18:03

These are great aprons. I don't really put nails in these but use them in the woodshop. Tape measure , small squares fit great and when I walk to the other side of the shop the tape is right there in the apron. These are really easy to buckle on also. Thanks Carhartt another well built product.

| Lisa E. 02-02-2021 19:10

These aprons are great. My workers realy love them

| Dave O. 02-02-2021 18:14

Love it . Wish I had this years ago. Nice big pockets

| Brianne S. 01-02-2021 15:14

Product is very sturdy and well made. I am a size 8 in women’s, and this is huge on me. I had to tie the straps several times after adjusting to the smallest length for it to even fit slightly better on my waist. Would appreciate deeper pockets and less rigid material. Otherwise, great product

| Ruben A. 24-01-2021 20:21

Great Quality!

| Tony F. 22-01-2021 21:21

This is the third one I’ve had. They usually last me about six years. But I treat them pretty rough. I’m really happy with the product.

| Vanessa 28-12-2020 21:45

This was a great hit as a Christmas gift. He loved it. Very durable as all Carhartt brand is. Great color, style and rugged. Great quality with all the functionality needed!

| Wayne H. 27-11-2020 00:36

The quality is top notch. Made of durable materials and should last years. If you use it to simply use it to hold nails and small items it is perfect. I use it to hold hand tools as well as said items. And it seems screwdrivers, wire cutters and tools of similar length seem to perfectly slide down inside and wedge themselves at the bottom. Aside from that, I totally recommend.

| Cecelia C. 15-11-2020 00:38

This has been the best accessory for me to contain my tools as a Floral Assistant for an upscale gourmet market. Being small in stature, it's the perfect size for me to contain my essentials for the job. I have it in black and am so pleased with the quality

| Cody K. 12-11-2020 15:18

I bought two so when my wife took over one I would still be good to go. Simple features, well thought out and functional.

| Alejandra L. 03-11-2020 23:22

Absolutely love it! It’s great for my work environment being that I needed some thing that I was going to be durable and worry free of either ripping or staining. I can see it wearing out really nice after time.

| Denise L. 30-10-2020 22:37

This apron is durable and will last a long time. I had my old one for 30 years.

| Al W. 17-10-2020 16:02

The belt adjuster slips constantly. The hammer loop is too small. The pencil pocket is almost useless.

| James E. 15-10-2020 00:29

While not using it for nails, I use it for my Bonsai tools while trimming them.<br /><br />It is great

| Erin C. 19-09-2020 08:47

Exactly what I was looking for and so happy with this purchase! <br />It’s nice and thick but still functional- this apron will last years to come!!

| christopher w. 13-09-2020 18:56

great apron,tough,durable .

| bill w. 30-07-2020 20:10

The duck canvas is nice. The buckle is cheap and the person who designed the pencil holder in the middle is a fool. Obviously never tried in the field before production began. Bend over and get jabbed in the stomach with your pen or pencil.

| robert b. 28-06-2020 03:47

It’s a great apron. I wish the sizes were listed better as far as in inches like a pair of pants. I purchased large but this is actually only an extra large. It’s too much of an annoyance to return so I’m stuck with 2 extra large aprons that I’ll probably never use unless I gain 20 lbs.

| The Plant Docto 24-06-2020 10:58

It’s a handy addition to my gardening. Doesn’t get in the way and I can keep my cell phone close.

| Sonya H. 23-06-2020 21:43

My dad loved it!

| Kyle M. 10-06-2020 20:17

It’s great!!!

| james w. 04-04-2020 15:42

perfect apron for interior wood work

| David C. 01-04-2020 18:22

It’s fine, I wish y’all made the R28s bibs so I didn’t have to buy it. I riveted snaps on my bibs and it fastened it to it.

| Robert P. 27-03-2020 16:55

I am an electrician and i find it to be the perfect pouch

| David G. 15-02-2020 14:10

This apron is incredibly handy. Lightweight enough that having it around your waist isn't annoying and doesn't get in the way, but durable enough that your tools aren't making it sag down. This goes down to a 32 waist size for men.

| Jakeman 10-02-2020 21:01

It’s good carhartt quality but there’s some things I don’t agree with. The pockets closest to the body bellow out too far. I’m an electrician so my apron gets pliers and a screwdriver. The tools don’t stay close to the body they tend too move around TOO much and bunch up together. So instead of knowing where my tools are I have to look down and find it. The front pockets don’t bellow out enough. I can put a phone and a knife in it but that’s about it. I need to put hand fulls of wire nuts, couplings, connectors, or straps. I can’t put enough in there to last me a whole bundle when a competitor apron can last me a whole hour with out having to restock. Other than that it built great and I make it work.

| Philip H. 03-02-2020 01:47

Awesome for doing fence work or other jobs on the farm or ranch. I have 35” waist and the medium size is perfect.

| Fernando M. 12-11-2019 16:51

Seems very well made! Fits a good amount of tools. Comfortable. Im a size 34 waist and I have room to tighten if need be. I like it very much.

| Francis R. 06-10-2019 23:11

my go to tool belt. durable and comfortable. i keep my phone in it and also tools

| William D. 17-09-2019 21:50

I think the extreme edges on left and right should have a pencil/pen slot. Also, why can something this simple not be made in AMERICA?!

| Jessica V. 10-08-2019 18:55

Needed something small to carry for little fixer uppers around home. Couldn't go wrong with Carhartt brand.

| Steven M. 30-07-2019 19:16

So far it’s been sturdy

| Jeff A. 26-06-2019 21:20

Great apron. Nice deep pockets for holding screws, hardware, and tools. I also like the clip on the belt. Seems to be decent quality, the belt just tends to loosen up fairly easily. Hoping that will change once it is broken in.

| Kate A. 23-05-2019 15:40

Overall I love this apron for my work as an event florist. I can stash my snips, wire, phone, keys ect ect and keep myself organized through set-up. However I do not understand why the belt doesn't come in a smaller size or why it is gendered in the marketing? I had to alter the waistband to fit my smaller frame and while it wasn't a big deal for me to do that, it's annoying that it doesn't come in a smaller size. Overall happy with the purchase and would buy again.

| Jacqueline S. 16-05-2019 13:59

Love it! I’m a waitress and use it for serving. Most sturdy and durable apron I’ve ever had.

| Ben N. 30-04-2019 10:49

Love this nail apron! Good quality material and deep pockets

| Brock E. 02-04-2019 20:20

It is great... she wears it for work to hold some different things!!!

| Ronald M. 30-01-2019 23:20

Awesome! Great quality

This is a product review of the Carhartt Nail Apron (CNA), style #A09, done between 11/4/2018 and 12/30/2018. I received the CNA in new condition in a 2XL size. The strap is adjustable and easily altered for a good fit. The CNA is 100% cotton (exclusive of trimming) and washable. The CNA is made in Nicaragua and shown on the product tag. On the front of the CNA, in the lower center is the Carhartt emblem. The waist strap also has a hammer loop on both sides of the apron. Overall the CNA appeared to be very well designed and practical. I utilized the CNA in a conventional way as well as unconventional. <br />The conventional way, well it is a nail apron, so I used it as a nail apron. It held nails with no problems. I worked on building/repairing/updating two shoot houses on my property. Both are approx. 12-14 feet off the ground and climbing a ladder with the items necessary for my work was made easier with the CNA. I also tried using it to carry screws for another project, up a ladder. However, it was problematic due to not having the ability to hold my cordless drill and climb a ladder safely. There may be a way to alter the hammer loops and hang a cordless drill from the loop in the future. Overall the material held up well and there were no punctures through the material.<br />Now to a few unconventional ideas to utilize the CNA. First, I utilized it to hold my knives when I skinned and processed a deer. When skinning a deer, I utilize several knives (field dressing, skinning, deboning, etc.). I do not like to use the same knife throughout processing the venison due to contamination. The CNA made it easy as the 4 pockets were able to store the individual knives separately without contacting the other knives and made them readily accessible throughout the entire process. The loops were utilized to carry an extra set of rubber gloves on one side and a towel on the opposite side. After completing the processing, just put the CNA in the washer. <br /> The next unconventional idea, holding dog treats when training my dogs. Utilizing a positive reinforcement method, to introduce dogs to new positions, and rewarding with a food treat is easily done with the CNA. I was able to hang the dog leads through the hammer loops, thus freeing up my hands for praising the dogs and rewarding them with food treats carried inside the nail compartments. <br />I know this is a “Nail Apron” and those reading reviews want to know how it held up under those conditions. However, this day of tight budgets (retirement), finding an item that can serve multi-task is important to me (and like-minded frugal people). Therefore, I believe the CNA serves the purpose as a nail apron sufficiently but, more importantly, it is a multifaceted item that is capable to serve many other needs as well.

| David P. 17-12-2018 18:48

I’ve been using these in the field for 21 years, and I’ll use the them for 21 more.

| Sidewinder 30-10-2018 03:27

Use to wear the carhartt coverall all the time but switched to just the pants and really missed having the extra pockets of the nail apron attached to the coveralls. This thing is great. Easy to put on and I have the convenient extra pockets for all my stuff at work in nice light little belt. The only downside is they can to slide down sometimes, a little annoying but overall o would recommend this product.

| tom o. 21-10-2018 22:00

This apron needs to be taller meaning more room between waist and the first pockets. Carpenter for 40 yrs..

| Jerry L. 03-10-2018 20:53

Outstanding

| Kim G. 18-09-2018 18:58

If you are someone that does not have to wear tool bags for your trade this apron is perfect! I use it to carry nails, screws, etc

| M B. 01-09-2018 00:19

I love these things! I’m buying my third one. I usually get 5 to 6 years out of them before the buckle breaks.

| Patrick m. 01-07-2018 19:55

Great product lasts a long time

| michael p. 09-06-2018 19:08

use everyday on our jobsite. the smaller pocket never has ripped through into the big pocket. it is made very well and i can not complain!

| Chad C. 04-06-2018 17:41

Tough, durable, practical. All three great traits and hallmarks of the Carhartt brand.

| Frank K. 13-05-2018 11:58

I actually bought this to use as an apron to hold photography gear while shooting in locations that require me to have smaller items like filters, polarizers, a light meter, etc. handy. In that respect, it has worked out great!I havent had this long, so I cant rate it in terms of durability, but I expect it will be as durable as other Carhartt products.

| Lesiele L. 13-04-2018 17:24

Love it !! Awesome

| Oscar A. 21-01-2018 19:24

Interior systems carpenter here, and I find this Carhartt apron practical inside a hospital setting.

| Julie S. 03-01-2018 06:13

Wonderful tool belt made of quality materials. The buckle is sturdy and easy to use, which makes for a great functional touch. Got this for my brother and he loved it.

| Ray M. 31-12-2017 17:07

Love it best apron I've ever bout works great for me as a finish carpenter

| Deborah L. 13-12-2017 00:36

It was very nice, very good quality. I bought it as gift for my grand daughters boyfriend. I'm excited to give to him.

| richard p. 10-12-2017 00:15

Owned 2 of these nail aprons and the first lasted many years. The 2nd one didn't last 3 months as the plastic clasp broke. Great heavy duty nail apron but plastic parts are flimsy and cheap.

| Karl L. 15-09-2017 21:24

Very sturdy duck cloth and four pockets, what a pleasure.

| Steve B. 14-07-2017 03:24

Nice apron, I needed to downsize from a leather apron, only downfall is that the belt adjustment slips and I need to keep snugging it up

| David C. 05-06-2017 22:31

Would recommend ,great for several trades !

| Steve S. 16-12-2016 16:00

While the product (brand and quality) is superior to anything else on the market, the purchase wasn't quite what I expected, or wanted, just based from the picture. This is only from a personal function and design use only.

| Kerwyn S. 18-11-2016 23:32

Good and strong

| steve d. 08-11-2016 12:52

Highly recommend it to workers

| DAVID W. 15-10-2016 03:31

I was introduced to these aprons by my mentor. They are great for carrying anything that you need quick access to. I would, and have, recommended these aprons because they are strong and durable. Easy to clean too. Good price for a great product!

| todd f. 07-08-2016 11:52

I have put my utility knife in one of the pockets and it has poked a hole in it. I think there should be a liner of some sort on the front two pockets to protect them from this.

| ross s. 20-06-2016 19:04

I'm a handyman and like to keep some basic materials and tools handy. The apron is very well made with durable cloth but has a major flaw. The pencil-pockets should be at the sides so when bending over the pencil or nail-punch does not stab you in the guts.

| Pirata 19-03-2016 03:11

Just what I needed. I love it makes my job a lot faster !

| Robbie 19-10-2015 17:42

I like the design, fabric and construction quality. The down side is the belt snap feature. It broke after a short time of use. Would return it but no longer have the sales receipt. Upgrade that and you have a quality product.

| Rich 26-08-2015 01:00

I love my Carhart apron!!! I just wish the front pockets had vertical pockets for tools ... Most of the time they'll lay horizontal and have a hard time digging them out. Example: 9" diagnal side cutters. Thank you. Hope to see a new product soon.

| Dogone 02-05-2015 21:02

A friend had one on the job site. I had always used just cheap canvas nail pouches from national chains. I bought one and the next time I saw my friend he had broken his belt buckle. He was back to using the cheapy. He warned me that the buckle cant take the harsh environment of electrical work, he might be correct. My buckle lasted another two weeks and it has broken also. Definite design flaw other than that the belt, and pouches are alright in my book with one exception, THE BUCKLE is a weak link!

| Bill 28-03-2015 02:12

I bought this apron to use at work to hold my tools and it works great. I like how they came out with a black apron.

| null 23-08-2013 23:19

This is a great looking and feeling apron, I've had several over the years. However recently I have gotten less and less use out of each apron. The stitching breaks where I put in my screw driver. I think it would be wise for them to use tripple stitcing on the aprons, as it stands now the pockets only have a double stitch.

| Electricman 23-02-2012 23:13

I am a Master Electrician and I use my Carhartt nail apron every day to hold my hand tools,(linesman pliers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, ect.), as well as parts I need for various tasks, such as wirenuts, screws, conduit fittings, ect. It is very durable and the wide belt is much more comfortable than those cheap string nail aprons you get from the major home improvement suppliers. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone in the construction industry.

| wvufan29 11-10-2011 14:51

I bought this as a gift and the person i bought it for said it was the best belt he has ever had. he used it all weekend.

| CLOS 04-09-2011 12:00

Great and organized way to keep tools and hardware while on the job. Easy to put on and take off

| Carmine 10-08-2011 21:29

It's the best work apron I've ever used.

| joeB 15-07-2011 18:39

GREAT!!!!!! THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY!!!!

| Sparky007 07-05-2011 16:01

I have been a electrician for years and always wore the small light weight nail aprons you get at the local lumber yard. To carry the small parts and things we need for the trade. The wear out or rip in a week or so, sometime only days. But this apron is the best thing since sliced bread. It holds more, it carries better and is more comfortable and durable than any I ever saw. Every tradesman should have one.

| troublemaker 05-11-2010 15:17

I use the apron as a shop apron. It's very well constructed and the belt is nicely sized and comfortable. I find the pencil pocket location dangerous, so I just clip them on the side. Good product and I hope to get a lot of use from it

| dkrasley 18-07-2010 13:02

I work as an electrician and I need to carry the little things to get the job done. That means I carry many different screws, nuts, wire nuts, and other small tools in a nail pouch. I was using cheep nail bags bought at hardware stores that lasted weeks at best. Sometimes I would buy a new apron and it would not make it through the day! The threads would pull out and I would have a pocket with all the parts combined. A co-worker had a Carhartt apron ad I checked it out. He said he had it for 3 years! So I knew where I was getting mine from.<br />I had mine for only a few weeks but I have found my nail apron for the future! If you work like me, buy it! You won't regret it!

| Caliman 26-12-2009 14:41

I think its great the Carhartt has produced an apron. I use it all the time from simple repairs around the house to building cabinets, along with finish carpentryprojects. I dont expect any thing else but satisfaction from Carhartt.

| popsciencefinest 09-09-2009 22:01

I am an electrician for I.B.E.W local 26 out of washington D.C. and for starters i can't say enough good about this tool apron's convenience , comfortability, its very large item capacity, you name it there is a pouch for it ! Now i could go on and on about its greatness but i wont its an apron one that i happen to love , you see i tote my side cutters ,screw drivers ,channel pliers ,etc. but i've gone through numerous aprons because of one small thing ! At the very bottom of the apron small holes start to form that eventually turn into large holes after about a month or so ,and i sew them back together with steel tie wire, due to there slim availability in retail stores i hold on to them as long as i can. now for the sollution , maybe just a reinforced bottom edge like you do on the knees of alot of your jeans and this little sachel is at the forefront of apron enginuity at its finest! Keep up the good work and lets get that into production and on the shelves a.s.a.p.! JUST KIDDING ABOUT THE ASAP THING! but really lets do it!

I’ve been wearing this apron for 20 years. Whe one wears out, I purchase another without pause. It has been something I could count on for durability and all round ruggedness. Sadly, I’ve noticed with my newest one, it is clearly made of sub par material. The belt is paper thin, and the the center slot sits differently than before. I believe they used to be made in Mexico, whereas this one was made in India. Honestly Carhartt, let’s bring manufacturing back home and charge a few more dollars. I’d gladly pay more for a U. S. Made product. All of my tools are made here, it’s about time you guys bring it home. Thank you for reading!

I love this durable tool apron! <br />I've been searching for something to hold larger tools besides my pockets so they are easy to reach and also easy to remove when I need to set them down. This is perfect! It's easy to clip on and off as needed and is the perfect size to hold a small notebook too, which has been helpful.<br /><br />Only thing I'd change is to make a few slots in the front to fit a screw driver or wrench, etc, in addition to the larger pockets. I might just sew some in though. Thanks for the quality, durable product!

Been using these for 19 years. All of a sudden they change the size of the center slot. Can’t fit my tape measure in there anymore. Slop garbage.

They changed everything and not for the better. Had it for a month before the rivets came undone. The pockets aren't as deep as they used to be, the belt itself has no rigidity so it folds under itself. The clip for the belt feels like its about to break. Why change something that worked so well. Sadly they made it cheaper to put profit above quality.

I bought this for my dad. He’s a “retired” electrician who opened a handyman business. He’s 78 and still works at least five days a week. What he really wants is the discontinued r28 carpenter bibs. This works, but the r28 would work better.

Replaced my last carhartt pouch that lasted me 10 years. Sad I had to get a new one but it’s great. Typical carhartt quality. Highly recommend
