German Military Shop Apron

Heavy-duty German military shop apron is built tough for the messiest of jobs. These aprons were originally designed for and used by members of the Nationale Volksarmee, otherwise known as the "National People's Army" of the German Democratic Republic, commonly known as East Germany. This can be seen in the distinct "NVA" stamping that is still visible on the reverse of many of these aprons.

good for the price
Review by Steve
I need something to keep dry while washing stuff at an outdoor sink, and this apron will definitely do the trick. For the price it likely can't be beat. However, as other reviewers have noted, mine came totally stuck together and was a pain to pull apart. And when I did, in several places the waterproofing vinyl facing material came off. I'm guessing this occurs because these have been packed (tightly?) in storage since the 1990s.

Great Deal, But Sticky!
Review by John
I bought 2 of these aprons for dressing out game. They are of excellent quality but they have some sort of sticky substance on them???

I put them in a small plastic tote and added a few squirts of DAWN dish detergent. I added water and let them set for 10-15 minutes. I "swished" them around in the soapy water to try to mimic a washing machine.

After I removed them and rinsed them off, the sticky substance was gone.

These are awesome aprons at a great price!

Great shop apron; I should probably order another one.
Review by Jason
I purchased two of these a while ago; I kept one and I gave one to a friend. I found with traditional shop aprons the cloth keeps dust and the occasional smudge off of my clothes, but oil goes right through cotton aprons, while this vinyl one stops the oil and grease. Mine has probably saved me the cost of the apron three times over in stain pretreatment alone. Right now my shop apron has oil on it, from sharpening the kitchen knives; combined with oil and grease from maintaining my old fishing reels; and combined with dust from sanding paint off of metal. In my schedule I don’t have a lot of time to tinker on my project so I fit working on them when I can, and unfortunately most of the time I am not in the appropriate clothes for working on messy things. Since I have purchased this apron those funny mysterious oil spots on my clothes have just about disappeared. My only complaint is the fabric / vinyl seems thin, the ties on mine are really starting to fray; but for the price I really should not complain.

great apron
Review by Brian
I of course got this for Halloween, but it will find its way into my outdoor grilling gear next year. Very solidly built, it would be a shame to only wear once a year.

Very durable apron
Review by Jay
Just received my East German apron. It is very durable and easy to wash. All I need now is fake blood to put on it and it will be a perfect Halloween costume.
