Great colors and design on the vintage farm bag used for this apron make it a wonderful choice for anyone!
The design, in red and blue, shows a Robin Hood-like character aiming to shoot with a bow and arrow. The character is inside a circle surrounded by the words "Archer Brand." The words "100 Lbs. Net" appear in large bluer pint above the circle. Above this logo is a small rectangle shape with instructions for removing the print on the bag.
Underneath the logo are these words in blue and red:

The apron is trimmed blue. 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. Warm or hot water may fade or erase the design.
The apron does have a few issues, including general stains as are typical of this age of sack, as well as some darker spots here and there. There was a very large tear in the sack that was repaired with a patch. There also are some rust spots. (See photos showing these issues and let me know if you have any questions.) Please consider all of these factors before purchase.
The bodice width is 11 inches.
The waist is 32 1/2 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 small, medium or 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.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
