Rate Machinist Apron Featuring Sarcastic Hourly Wage Tiers is printed on a black canvas apron — one size, made to order and shipped within the United States.
rate machinist apron puts the phrase MACHINIST HOURLY RATE across the front panel, and the listed prices read as a sarcastic warning to bystanders. Wearing it signals that unsolicited advice is unwanted, and shop floor veterans know this design was made for them.
What The Print Says
The print features bold white typography stacked vertically against a grey background. An orange rectangle holds the words HOURLY RATE with an orange gear centered between them. Below, five price lines list increasing sums from $100/HR to $499/HR, each preceded by a small orange protractor icon. The final line warns about being told how to do the job. This layout uses only white and orange ink in a typography-only style to convey professional sarcasm.
The Cook It Was Made For
This product serves machinists who appreciate workplace humor and technical precision. It functions as a humorous gift for fathers or grandfathers celebrating retirement or birthdays. The sturdy 10 oz cotton canvas withstands daily wear while the two front pockets hold essential tools during long shifts.
Ordering Questions
What are the pocket dimensions? Each of the two front pockets measures 8 by 7 inches and is split in the middle to accommodate bulkier items without stretching the fabric. This generous capacity ensures that calipers, scribes, and other vital measuring instruments remain secure and easily accessible throughout a full shift.
Does the ink resist washing? The white and orange print remains durable through repeated laundering because the heavy cotton canvas base stabilizes the ink layer against shrinkage and fading. The 10 oz weight prevents the material from distorting, keeping the precise alignment of the stacked text and icons intact after multiple cleaning cycles.
Why does this specific design use protractors? Small orange protractor icons appear before every price line to visually reinforce the technical nature of the trade and the precision required when calculating actual worth. These geometric symbols connect the monetary values directly to the mathematical skills demanded by the profession, distinguishing this design from generic workwear.

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.
