We know what you’re thinking! You are confused about why we’re writing about a clothing store on Kitchn, a food website. It seems like a stretch, right? (Although, to be fair, we do NOT recommend cooking while naked! Not like we’re speaking from experience or anything.) But Madewell, one of our go-to shops for sweaters, dresses, and jeans, just teamed up with Hedley & Bennett, one of our most favorite apron brands of all time.

There are 10 items in the collaboration (ranging in price from $19.50 to $150), and it goes beyond just the colorful aprons that Hedley & Bennett is famous for. There are chore coats and denim shirts for men and women (don’t forget, Madewell makes clothing for men now!) with lots of pockets, armpit ventilation, and a back collar snap for keeping an apron in place.

There’s also a new relaxed coverall jumpsuit, sure to keep you warm all winter long, featuring pen pockets, a tool loop, reinforced knees, and, once again, that collar snap for aprons.

The line also includes a unisex bandana, leather-strap canvas tote, and graphic T-shirt (made of recycled fabrics) featuring fruits and veggies. And all of it is as cute as you’d expect.

We’re torn between the two aprons, though. Chambray or yellow with a striped pocket? Or both? Vote in the comments below!

And actually, while you’re all here, we’d like to take a minute to suggest these Jogger Sweatpants for Thanksgiving. They look like holiday-appropriate pants but are actually sweatpants, which means they’re oh-so-comfortable. Exactly what you need for a holiday that’s rooted around one giant meal. (They’re only available online so hurry up and order to ensure on-time delivery!)

What do you think of the collaboration? And more importantly, what are you wearing for Thanksgiving?
