It is made for grooms, showing riders and professional plaiters who need scissors, thread, wax, gel and needles organised and within reach on show mornings and at the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinished in matte-grained vegan leather with a wipe-clean surface, it is best for long plaiting sessions where you want everything to hand and nothing balanced on a stable door. Compare it with a standard grooming tote and the difference is mobility: the apron travels with you down the mane rather than sitting on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte-grained vegan leather\u003c\/strong\u003e with a wipe-clean finish for durability and a smart, low-maintenance look\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-width zipped pocket\u003c\/strong\u003e for larger items and equine passports, keeping documents secure and accessible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo front pockets with inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped to hold scissors and plaiting accessories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral open pocket with three internal organisers\u003c\/strong\u003e for plaiting thread, wax or gel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal D-ring\u003c\/strong\u003e for attaching a Handy Towel or The Rosette Pincushion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscreet embossed branding\u003c\/strong\u003e and signature red zip tab\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable waist from 80 to 120 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e for comfortable wear over layers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmart Grooming\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaiting and braiding apron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte-grained vegan leather with wipe-clean finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 x 22 x 3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 - 120 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePocket Layout\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-width zipped pocket, two front pockets with inserts, central open pocket with three internal organisers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFittings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal D-ring, red zip tab, embossed branding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more yard and turnout kit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grooming\"\u003egrooming collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eFasten the apron around your waist and adjust the strap between 80 and 120 cm so it sits level and secure over your clothing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLoad scissors and plaiting accessories into the two front pockets with inserts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlace plaiting thread, wax or gel in the three organisers inside the central open pocket.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePut the equine passport or larger items into the full-width zipped pocket and close the zip.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClip a Handy Towel or The Rosette Pincushion to the metal D-ring if you use one.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter plaiting, empty the pockets of loose needles and thread and wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Smart Grooming Ultimate Plaiting Apron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe apron body measures 31 x 22 x 3 cm and the waist strap adjusts from 80 cm to 120 cm, so it fits over a shirt, gilet or show jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the apron made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is made from matte-grained vegan leather with a wipe-clean finish, chosen for durability and low-maintenance care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can I fit in the pockets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a full-width zipped pocket for larger items and equine passports, two front pockets with inserts for scissors and plaiting accessories, and a central open pocket with three internal organisers for thread, wax or gel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the D-ring for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe metal D-ring lets you attach a Handy Towel or The Rosette Pincushion so your full plaiting setup stays together on your waist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe the outer surface with a damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
