At American Socks, we’ve always been surrounded by people who create. Friends who cook, tattoo, cut hair, paint, or spend weekends grilling with a beer in hand. They’re the ones who make life more interesting, and we started thinking: why not make something for them too?
That’s how the AMSSCKS aprons happened. We didn’t want the usual boring kitchen apron, the kind that hangs in a drawer and only comes out when you’re cooking pasta. We wanted something you’d actually want to wear. Something that feels like part of your style, whether you’re working in a tattoo studio, behind the stove, or outside at a BBQ.
We came up with two main cuts. The “traditional” apron is the one you know, good coverage, easy to throw on and get to work. The “sharp cut” apron is a bit more fitted, made with barbers and tattoo artists in mind. Then we had some fun and made themed versions like “Obey” and “Suuuper Fast Food,” which even come in a gift box with matching socks. Perfect if you’re looking for something original to give a friend who’s always cooking or sketching.
What we love most is seeing them in action. A tattoo artist with their tools in the pockets, someone painting a canvas without worrying about stains, or a friend grilling on a sunny afternoon. The aprons aren’t just practical, they’ve got personality. They’re made to move with you, get messy, and still look like they belong in your world.
So yeah, they started as an idea to give back to the people around us who make life better. And now they’re out there, part of the same creative energy that inspired them.
