The green bib-style apron has two large pockets right next to each other, perhaps for sushi making tools. The apron has two strings on both sides that are to be tied at the back. It also has another string with a black plastic adjustable strap to be worn around the neck. The general shape of the apron is boxy with clean straight edges, and hits the knee area.
label: Description
content: The first AFC chef uniform consisted of a Kimono syle coat, this full length green apron, and a chefs hat. Each component of the uniform includes the first generation AFC Corp. logo, which consists of an oval containing “AFC”, two pieces of nigiri sushi, and “Since 1986” written below the oval. The two pieces of nigiri sushi on the logo are individually wrapped with a piece of seaweed, probably a tamago nigiri (egg sushi).
