IF the Ripper dropped this--(I am far from convinced)---the scenario I would imagine is--
AK goes out on the hunt. He takes with him a cloth from the shop that he feels won't be missed--probably to wrap up any organs from the body so that he can get them home without destroying his clothes. Since he has to take something that will not be missed--he has to take whatever is available (as opposed to being able to choose the most resilient fabric).
At the Stride murder scene he is interrupted--and worried that he has been seen. He doesn't get any organs--so the cloth isn't used.
At the second murder scene, I think he was a bit rattled from the possibility of being seen--and being interrupted. For some reason he abandons the cloth he brought. It may be that he couldn't resist masturbating at the scene--and using the silky cloth in the process. Then it was tainted to him--he didn't want to wrap up something he planned to eat later in it.
So he hastily grabbed a piece of apron to wrap his trophy in.
As he approaches home he realizes--if I am caught with this bit of apron in my home, I will hang. I cannot take this home. So he abandons it on the street.
