Reading this lot made me laugh! Then again the dear old Tabbard had and I suppose still has its uses!

Good ole Nora, was a bit of a cross dresser, here look she wasn't that fussy if it was a tabard, pinny, overall, she loved them all.

A waistcoat?!

[Seahorse]

My Granny used to wear tabards, only I'm sure she called them pinnys!

I'm like Sarz though, rarely wearing anything so posh that getting a bit of soil or flour on it will matter! But I do have a posh Christmas apron

Uh Oh...you've done it now....what with those Christmas stockings

Nan always had her "pinny" on in the kitchen or scullery as she called it.

[Mikey]

My granny used to call it a kitchenette. Never understood that one, it wasn't a small room.?

Don't worry zazen I have a very clear image in my head.

Tabbard, or not tabbard - is that the question?

Tabbard, or not tabbard - is that the question?

they are not tabbard at all, that is the answer.

I'm with HilaryB, a Tabbard is a straight bit of fabric with a head hole and side strings to fasten it. Probably invented as one size fits all (unless you are exceptionally big or small, obviously). I was always lead to believe the others were Aprons or Pinnies, but I'm from Essex, so what do I know!

Hi Missus! Nothing wrong with us Essex peeps! How are you G4? I like your way of thinking about the one size for all, I recon the Tabbard is to blame for the start of that millarki! lol

Are you sure there's nothing you need to tell us, Mikey?

And, in answer to the question - Norah is wearing a pinny!!

God I love this forum.

10 hour day in the office, dealing with all the big banker bonuses that they are not supposed to get anymore, stress level at 110%, going cross-eyed with mental exhaustion.

Then I come on here to read a discussion on tabards.

Given me my first smile today, you mad b*****s.

Thanks!
