In other news, we just got all new chef coats at work. While I'm reasonably jazzed about the zipper and the snaps that help keep sleeves rolled up, the switch from cotton to a poly-cotton blend (emphasis on poly) with air vents is Not Ideal, and I am entirely dismayed by the lack of front breast pocket. I used that to listen to my phone, darnit! I don't always want to be taking over the bluetooth speaker, and it's not like I can legally wear headphones, even if I was willing to risk missing crucial work interactions that way!

It put me out of sorts for several hours today, I'm not afraid to say. It also put me in mind of finding a way to wrangle my own aprons that I could include some sort of "top pocket" on. Surely there must be a way. And it'd definitely be cheaper for me than buying my own chef coats and bringing them from home, though that is certainly another option. Gotta buy new clogs first, though; my current pair has practically worn through the bottom layer of the soles.

That's a big enough change that it would throw me off too, I imagine! I hope you can figure out a way to create a pocket (or faux pocket) that will work for you!

That sounds perfect! I hope it works as well as it sounds like it will!

Yeeeeah I'm in a wind ensemble and we just got new uniforms for marching. No-one was too excited about three layers of synthetic fibre :/

Oh, no, a design flaw!

My first thought was, Could you sew a pocket onto the inside? But an apron arrangement sounds simpler. :D Hope you can work it out!
