What Makes a Vintage Apron a Vintage Apron?

The other day, my friend and I were discussing vintage aprons. It happened as we were perusing a site about vintage clothing. I asked her, "How do you like vintage aprons?" I was startled by her response...
"Aren't all aprons vintage?"
I just looked at her. "What do you mean?"
"Come on" she said. "No one wears aprons anymore"
"Some people do."
"Sure, old ladies"
"You mean old fashioned people" I corrected her.
""Yea, whatever...old... old- fashioned..."
"No, I'm telling you," I told her "Some people really do wear them."
"No one our age does"
"Sure they do!"
"Well," she said in I told you so tones..."Do YOU wear an apron?"
"Why of course!" I answered.
She snorted.
"NO, really,it's true."
Her eyes shimmered and shined.
"Show me.." she sneered.
Unbelieving, she opened the designated drawer and squealed incredulously.
"No way!"
"Mmm...Hmmm..." I countered smugly. Panel after panel of half-aprons spilled onto the floor from the overstuffed drawer. She just couldn't believe it! (I didn't have the heart to tell her that I run an apron business;
that would have ruined my point).
"Actually," I teased her, " I can't believe that you don't wear them"

Now, to be fair, I have to admit, my friend was right; I know FOR A FACT that I am the only one in the neighborhood (seriously) who wears them. At least my age. Or that I know. Okay, maybe there are others, but I haven't met them. How about you? Do you have one? Do your friends? Let me know I'm not the only one.
