Custom Aprons
Praise for The Craftsman’s Apron
I was looking for an exceptional quality apron, on the internet and I couldn’t find anything which suited my tastes. Every apron I found had a canned mass-produced cheap look to it. Fortunately I ran across Brother Patrick’s site. He was able to take my ideas and shape them around a large Texas sized apron which looks absolutely amazing! I had several ideas and over more nights than I can count Brother Patrick took his time listening and adapting these into my apron way beyond all expectations. If you are looking for a real one of a kind Masonic apron you can wear with pride – Brother Craddock is the best and I can recommend him to all worthy Brothers. Brother Jonathan Hughes

Patrick Craddock produces, without fail, the finest 19th century aprons available. His artistry and attention to detail far surpass any apron, historic or otherwise, being offered today. Justin Runyon, Editor of Civil War Historian Magazine

Our lodge, located in New Market, Maryland, undertook a new endeavor to involve itself in 18th Century Living History. Brother Patrick was able to encompass my Blue Lodge and Scottish Rite affiliations into a true masterpiece. Right down to the Skull and Crossbones, I have an apron worthy of a Colonial gentleman! Thanks Patrick! J. Scott McCauley

I could not have been more pleased with the fine period authentic Masonic apron made by Bro. Craddock. Whenever I have worn it at various Masonic functions, I have received nothing but compliments and questions on where a Brother could find such a fine apron. I gladly vouch for and highly recommend his Masonic aprons; worth every penny. Mike Kupsch

Bro. Craddock not only created a beautiful apron for me, he also surprised me by having included on the apron a desert view, looking east, which is in recognition of my having been Raised in Arabian Lodge #882, Dharan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. MSGT Brian Hicks (United States Marine Corps, Retired)

The apron that Brother Craddock painted for me is amazing. The detail and attention that went into the crafting of such a fine piece are truly amazing. Tim Prince

The apron I have that was made by Brother Pat Craddock is so much more than a historical reproduction; it is a product of brotherly love! Brother Pat, knowing that I was a retired Navy man and very proud of my service, selected having the anchor as the main focus point of my apron.
When I received the apron I immediately noticed that the anchor was the main focus point of the apron. Brother Pat went on to explain why he had chosen the anchor as the main focus. It brought tears to this old crusty Chief Petty Officer’s eyes that Brother Pat symbolically personalized my apron with anchor that is not only symbolical to Masons but the Navy as well!

I am very pleased with my Past Master’s Apron, an original work by Patrick Craddock. I wore it to Grand Lodge this year and received many positive comments. Patrick has revived what must have been a lost art form and all who wear his aprons do so proudly. David Price, PM
