Crooked printing is the most noticeable feature of the authentic vintage sack marked "U.S. Mint" used to create this half apron.
Straightening the print would have made the apron very small, and some of the printing would have disappeared. So, I thought it better just to embrace the vintage quality of the end product.
The print is in black, and it reads:
Please Do Not Cut

The fabric is a very heavy cotton canvas. It has been washed twice, but the fabric still is a little stiff. It should soften with additional washings. (Use cold water and line dry.) Cotton webbing was used for the waist ties.
The apron does have a few issues, including general stains as are typical of this age of sack. There are more noticeable dark spots over the printing, and at the bottom right. Please consider all of these factors before purchase, as well as the crooked printing described earlier.
The waist is 17 1/2 inches.
The length is 16 1/2 inches.
The waist ties are each 54 inches.
Please use measurements to determine size. This apron was designed for men, but many women like to purchase these sturdy aprons.
* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
