Smart Grooming Classic Plaiting & Braiding Apron
Description
Smart Grooming The Classic Plaiting & Braiding Apron
The Smart Grooming Classic Plaiting & Braiding Apron is a black cotton drill tool apron that holds plaiting combs, needles, thread, gel and wax in structured pockets so everything stays within reach while you work. It is made for grooms, producers and riders who plait manes and tails at home on the yard or ringside at a show.
Best for anyone who currently plaits with tools balanced on a grooming box: the two front pockets with tool loops, the central product pocket and the rear zipped pocket keep kit organised and off the floor, while brass fittings with red pull tabs make each compartment quick to open with one hand. The waistband adjusts from 80 cm to 120 cm, so it fits over a polo shirt in summer or a jacket in winter.
