Oh? More details please. Referances where folks might find these German
aprons?

I have some info on period aprons in this file in the CLOTHING section of
my files:
aprons-msg        (28K)  6/ 2/99    Medieval aprons for both men and women.

I *think* there are descriptions of Adamantius' cooks cote in this file
as well as his escapades while in it, in this file.
