Pillsbury's Best Feeds Sack Apron With Red Straps Fits Sizes M - L - XL

Pillsbury's Best XXXX Feeds are the words in the logo featured on this apron made from an authentic vintage feed sack.

The round logo shows a large circle of blue dots on the beige background. The words are in blue and red. Over the circle are the words "100 LBS. NET," in red.

My research shows this logo was patented in the first part of the 1900s, with the purpose of the feeds for "poultry, turkeys, hogs, cattle, sheep, horses, mules, goats, rabbits, dogs and various wild animals held in captivity." While the age of the sack cannot be verified, it is a real feed sack and not a reproduction.

Under the logo are the words "Reg. U.S. Pat Off." in blue. Further down are these words:
Pillsbury Mills, Inc.
Feed and Soy Division
Clinton, Iowa
Mills At
Minneapolis, Atchison, Clinton, Centerville, Lima,
Colton, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Ogden

The apron is trimmed red. To adjust the length, simply place a knot in the neck tie where desired. Cold water wash and line dry are recommended to prevent fading and shrinking.

The apron does have a few issues, including general stains as are typical of this age of sack, but overall it is clean. The sides appear a darker beige as they are made from the bag back. There are several small snags in the fabric that could develop into holes over time (see photos for examples). Please consider all of these factors before purchase.

The bodice width is 12 1/2 inches.
The waist is 34 inches.
The length is 36 inches from the top bodice center to the hemline.
The waist ties are each 29 inches.
This apron best fits women's sizes medium, large or extra large.

* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically. Also, finding some or many seeds or feed pieces caught in the fabric is quite common. The bags have been washed at least once and many seed/feed pieces have already been removed, but some may remain.
