BW Hospital Bib Apron, Surplus

West-Germany called, they wanted to perform some kind of surgical operations. We had to disappoint them and inform that their aprons are no longer approved for OR use even on the worse side of The Wall. Well, let's figure out something!

This time, we're offering aprons for any kind of messy jobs where you don't require modern-day aseptic properties and such. The material is waxed cotton, but not the kind you achieve with DIY methods but with a rather durable plastic-like outside. On the right, you'll find a pocket for some kind of an air-driven motor scalpel.

The apron has shoulder straps and a waistband with buttonholes and double-sided buttons for donning without knots while allowing a range of adjustments.

Precise, yet simple size system

Ze Germans couldn't make a simple apron without including at least one system you can study so the apron is available in three sizes. The metric numbers reflect European men's sizes and are roughly equivalent to common X-Small, Small, and Medium. The chart below has the actual waistband and hem lengths. Don't read too much into them, though.

German surplus

Old stuff from decades back, yet never used and sometimes in factory wrappings. Don't use them for anything that requires following OSH-standards, hygiene requirements, or such. However, these are in a really neat condition. The color may vary in different shades of off-white.
