Hourly Wood Apron Featuring Carpenter Hourly Rate Sarcasm is printed on a black canvas apron — one size, made to order and shipped within the United States.
The phrase 'hourly wood apron' introduces a design featuring the text 'CARPENTER HOURLY RATE' and a list of escalating prices. The joke uses sarcasm to value labor over supervision, listing rates from $100 for standard work up to $250 if someone tells the wearer how to do their job. Wearing it signals professional pride and a sense of humor about workplace hierarchy. This specific design was made for experienced tradespeople who appreciate honest jokes about craftsmanship.
What Is Printed On It
A small carpenter icon wearing an orange hat sits at the top center, flanked by two white hammers pointing inward. Below this icon, the main title reads CARPENTER HOURLY RATE in large, distressed white font that mimics worn stenciling. A structured list follows, separated by thin horizontal lines, displaying specific dollar amounts paired with conditions such as $100/HR STANDARD and $250/HR IF YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB. The color palette strictly utilizes white for the text and icons, with orange reserved solely for the carpenter's hard hat. This layout organizes the sarcastic pricing into a clear, readable format that dominates the front panel.
Who Reaches For This One
Carpenters and woodworkers notice the specific rate escalation immediately because it validates their expertise over amateur interference. This hourly wood apron serves as a practical gift for birthdays, Father's Day, or Christmas for fathers, brothers, or male coworkers. It is worn in real-world workshops where protecting clothes from sawdust is necessary while simultaneously communicating a serious attitude toward labor standards through visual humor.
Questions Before You Order
What are the dimensions of the waist ties? The waist ties measure 42 inches on each side, ensuring sufficient length to tie securely in the front. This generous dimension accommodates various body sizes and allows the wearer to adjust the fit comfortably over heavy clothing or layers without the straps being too short to reach behind the back.
How does the ink hold up to washing? The distressed print style is designed to endure repeated laundering without cracking or peeling away from the fabric surface. The ink bonds permanently with the material, meaning the white lettering and orange accents remain intact and legible even after frequent exposure to water and detergent cycles typical in a workshop environment.
Why is the rate highest for being told how to do the job? The $250/HR rate applies specifically to the condition IF YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB, reflecting the premium placed on professional autonomy. This detail satirizes the frustration of having one's method questioned by untrained individuals, establishing that the wearer's skill is worth the most money when they are left to work independently without interference.
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.
US orders under US$65.00 pay a flat US$4.95 shipping; orders of US$65.00 or more ship free. Bearhap ships within the United States only — we do not ship to international addresses.
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. We refund the item price in full to the original payment method — the original US$4.95 shipping fee is not refundable — and Bearhap covers all return shipping costs: email contact@bearhap.com for a free return label.
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.
