Alway Ape Apron with Bonobo Silhouette is printed on a black canvas apron — one size, made to order and shipped within the United States.
alway ape apron puts the phrase 'ALWAYS BE YOURSELF UNLESS YOU CAN BE A BONOBO THEN ALWAYS BE A BONOBO' across the front panel, and the words land as a celebration of the species' famously peaceful reputation. Wearing it does this for the person by signaling a preference for harmony over conflict, and primatologists and animal enthusiasts who appreciate the docile nature of pygmy chimpanzees feel it was made for them.
The Graphic, Piece By Piece
A white silhouette of a bonobo sits at the top of the panel in a minimalist style. Below the figure, five lines of centered white text spell out the full humorous instruction. The layout relies entirely on the color white against the background to create contrast without extra patterns. This composition belongs to the category of wholesome humor regarding primates. The combination of the sitting pose and the specific text creates a unified statement about animal behavior.
Days You Would Grab It
Primatologists and people who study gracile chimpanzees notice the specific reference to bonobos first. This alway ape apron makes a thoughtful present for dads, moms, or kids who love mammals. It gets worn in the kitchen or lab by anyone who wants to show love for these specific apes while keeping their clothes safe.
Before Buying
What are the dimensions of the apron? The body size is twenty-eight inches wide by thirty-four inches long to ensure proper coverage. Waist ties measure forty-two inches on each side so they can reach around the back. These measurements provide enough fabric to protect clothing during messy tasks.
How durable is the ink when washed? The printed text and silhouette remain intact because the design uses a solid block of white. There are no gradients or complex textures that might crack or fade easily. Standard washing keeps the white lettering crisp and visible.
Is this design specific to bonobos? Yes, the text explicitly names the bonobo rather than a generic ape. The joke relies on the specific cultural reputation of this species for peace. No other primate design would fit this exact written instruction.
Every apron is printed after you order it. Orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays — please allow 1-3 business days for order processing. After processing, shipping typically takes 3-7 business days inside the United States, so the total delivery time from order placement is 4-10 business days.

You may request a return or exchange within 30 days of the purchase date, for any reason. The apron must be unopened, unused and in its original packaging, with proof of purchase.

Care
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colours. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not iron directly over the print — press from the back if you need to. No bleach, no dry cleaning.
The ink is water-based and cures into the fabric, so it will soften with the canvas rather than peel off it.
