Apron. Traditionally, the more functional day-to-day aprons were linen
while the fancier aprons had wool or woven materials on the front
and sometimes the back. A method known as "tablet-weaving" used on some aprons produces a striped pattern--the type that was probably the most common.
Rectangular fabric draped in front and in back, attached by thin straps.
Made from color cotton fabrics. Can be made from linen.
Back and front are lined giving it a double thickness--this is a very sturdy apron.
Worn in many medieval periods, including Viking, Celts, Britons, Jutes.
