R2D2 Apron Geeks Up the Kitchen with an Iconic Character

Star Wars fans can now show off their love for the sci-fi franchise while they cook by donning one of the R2D2 Aprons by HauteMessThreads.

Thanks to the R2D2 Apron, the kitchen just got a whole lot geekier. HauteMessThreads has designed this apron honor of one of the most beloved droids of all time. The designer has taken various elements of the character and incorporated it into the entire look. Like R2D2, the apron has a white body with blue, red and black parts representing the circuitry design. It also has adjustable halter straps for a better fit.

Now that R2D2 is in apron form, perhaps its time to design one of his partner in crime, C-3P0.
