Along, long time ago, the Masons that build the King Solomon Temple wore an apron when they were cutting stones in the quarry and during the building of King Solomon Temple in Jeruzalem, in order not to dirty their clothes.

Today, some workers copied this Good Practice and also during food preparation in the kitchen.
