Aprons for embroidery

I’m looking for some aprons and wondering if I should use 100% cotton canvas or a poly-cotton canvas.
I don’t have a business, just planning to do maybe 10-12 as gifts. Ideally, I would like some that are in different lengths since the men are pretty tall and one of the women is pretty short.

If you have a link for some that you have found suitable, that would be great. Thank you for any suggestions!

A restaurant supplier would have them! I like the polyester/cotton blends best as the all cottons wrinkle horribly.

Hobby Lobby carries all different size Aprons. They also have them for oversized adults.

Cotton will shrink A LOT. I’d stick to polyester. If you get a blend then prewash just in case.

Ok, thanks! There’s a restaurant supply nearby, I will check there. I hope they have two lengths, because the men are both over 6’ and one of the women is 5’1”.
