Jane Apron

If you are a Texan, or have adopted Texas as your home, we welcome you to settle the Wild West your own way with the Jane Apron from Two Medium Sized Ladies named for Jane Long (1798-1880), who will always be remembered as the Mother of Texas. This apron features deep red letters and outlines of the most famous Southwest icons: cowboy boots, spurs, stars, sheriff badges, horseshoes, and silhouetted roping cowboys on horseback. Words include Cowboy, "Giddyup," Rodeo, Cowboy, and Wild West! One of the earliest pioneers to make Texas her home, Jane migrated from Mississippi at the beginning of the 19th Century with her husband, James Long, settling at Bolivar Point. Jane was left there with their daughter Ann while James went to join the fight for independence from Spain. While others began to evacuate the area Jane remained. “My husband left me here to wait for him and I shall stay until he returns,” she said. Her husband never returned. Upon learning the news that he had been killed in Mexico City, Jane moved her family to Brazoria where she opened a prosperous boarding house that was frequented by such prominent characters as William Barrett Travis. Long’s boarding house was used as a meeting place before the war, and it is said that Stephen F. Austin delivered an impassioned speech calling Texans to war under her roof. 100% cotton duck handcrafted with pride in Texas. Fully lined with a cotton/poly blend liner. Featuring cotton canvas pockets. Extra long strings means it fits up to size 1X. Spot clean or cold water wash. One size: 29" length x 19" wide
