The blue apron

Visitors to South Tyrol cannot fail to notice that local farmers tend to wear a blue apron on weekdays. Without this blue apron, which reaches down to the knees, they would feel only half-dressed.
The blue apron has become a living symbol of the South Tyrolean working male and its pleasant blue colour brightens up daily life. The apron is very practical and has a variety of uses, often sporting a humorous saying or decorated with embroidered flowers.
