{"product_id":"european-cowhide-bench-apron-gray-short-depth","title":"European Cowhide Bench Apron-Bench Skins-Cowhide Gray Short Depth","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuropean jewelers have long relied on the leather bench apron — also called a bench skin, lap cloth, or jeweler's leather lap apron — to catch filings and precious metal scrap at the workbench. These top-quality cowhide bench aprons are imported from Germany and hand sewn in the EU with reinforced edges for lasting durability. Lighter in weight than Bergeon-style bench skins, this cowhide gray version offers a practical, well-crafted catch tray solution for professional jewelers and metalsmiths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bench skins can be custom fitted to John Frei workbenches or adapted to your own existing bench. A canvas strip sewn along the top edge allows the apron to be fastened with hooks, nails, or staples to the underside of your workbench. A single front grommet lets you hook the apron up when not in use, preventing precious metals from dropping to the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine cowhide leather construction — lighter weight than Bergeon-style bench skins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand sewn in the EU with reinforced edges for added durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanvas strip along the top edge for fastening to workbench underside via hooks, nails, or staples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle front grommet to hook apron up when not in use, securing precious metal scrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with John Frei workbenches or adaptable to your own bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso functions as a lap cloth or jeweler's leather lap apron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCowhide leather with canvas strip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApproximate Size (In Front)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57–80 cm (22\"–32\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the EU (imported from Germany)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand sewn with reinforced edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather bench aprons are easy to keep clean and encourage good workshop habits — you are far more likely to sweep up precious metal scrap before switching tasks when using a bench apron, making it easier to keep different metal types separate. To protect the apron from accidental soldering damage, simply let the front hang loose or hook it back away from the heat source as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126606622934,"sku":"113.055-CHSRT","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/european-cowhide-bench-apron-bench-skins-cowhide-gray-short-depth-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719954222","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/european-cowhide-bench-apron-gray-short-depth","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
