Expert Review and Insights
The Chef Works A798-S is a real workhorse. It strikes that difficult balance between looking crisp and being genuinely practical for a busy service. The edge stitching is a small detail that makes a big difference to its longevity, preventing that 'worn-out' look around the collar after a few months. It’s a solid, no-fuss choice for any establishment wanting a unified, professional front.

- Built to Last: The reinforced stitching and durable fabric hold up exceptionally well to constant use.
- Single Pocket: A single breast pocket is handy but limits storage for some roles.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grove Brasserie in Bristol was looking to upgrade their staff uniforms to better reflect their premium casual dining experience. Their previous mix-and-match shirts looked untidy and didn't convey the professional image they were aiming for.
"We needed something that was smart, incredibly durable, and comfortable for the team to wear on long double shifts. The Chef Works shirts ticked every box. The staff look brilliant, and they feel more like a unified team."
Leo Carter – General Manager
After the switch, the brasserie noted a significant increase in positive customer comments regarding the polished and professional atmosphere.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always wash before the first wear to remove any factory residues.
- Check the fit on staff members before removing tags to ensure comfort.
- Distribute to your team with clear instructions on care.
Keeping It Looking Great
- Machine wash with similar dark colours to prevent fading.
- For best results, iron when slightly damp or use a steamer to remove creases.
- Avoid using bleach, as this can damage the fabric and cause discolouration.
- Hang immediately after washing or tumble drying to minimise wrinkles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this shirt machine washable?
A: Yes, it is designed for commercial laundering. We recommend washing with similar dark colours to maintain its deep black shade.
Q: What is the fabric made from?
A: It's made from a durable polycotton blend, offering the perfect mix of comfort, breathability, and the resilience needed for a demanding work environment.
Q: Does the black colour fade over time?
A: The fabric is chosen for its colour-fast properties. With proper care (washing with darks, avoiding bleach), fading is minimal over its lifespan.
Q: As it's unisex, how does the sizing work?
A: The sizing is based on standard men's chest measurements. We provide a clear size chart (e.g., S = 36"-38" chest) to help you find the right fit for all staff.
Q: Is the material breathable for long, busy shifts?
A: Yes, the polycotton blend is chosen to be lightweight and breathable, ensuring staff stay as comfortable as possible during service.
Q: Can these shirts be embroidered with a company logo?
A: Absolutely. The fabric is ideal for embroidery, allowing you to easily add your business logo for a customised, branded look.
Q: What is the benefit of a two-button cuff?
A: It allows for a more tailored fit around the wrist. Staff can choose the tighter button for a snug fit or the looser one for more room, enhancing comfort.
Q: Is it prone to wrinkling?
A: The polycotton blend helps to reduce wrinkling compared to 100% cotton shirts. For a perfectly crisp look, a quick iron or steam is recommended.
The Chef Works Standard: Uniforms Built for Business

Chef Works has built its reputation over decades by understanding that professional apparel is a critical piece of kitchen and front-of-house equipment. This shirt represents long-term value, engineered to withstand the relentless cycle of wear, spill, and wash that cheaper alternatives simply can't handle.

It sends a clear message to your customers about your commitment to quality, and it boosts team morale by providing them with professional gear they can be proud to wear. It's the kind of reliability that lets you focus on running your business, not on reordering uniforms.
Explore more from Chef WorksWhy Edge Stitching is a Detail That Matters
Ever notice how some shirt collars and cuffs start to look a bit soft, floppy, or frayed after a few dozen washes? That's what 'Edge Stitching' is designed to prevent. You'll see it as a neat, extra line of stitching running close to the edge of the collar and cuffs on this Chef Works dress shirt for chefs.
Think of it like the reinforced binding on a high-quality hardback book. It’s a structural detail that adds rigidity and strength to the areas that see the most movement and wear. This simple feature ensures the shirt maintains its crisp, sharp lines shift after shift, keeping your team looking polished and professional for much longer than a standard shirt would.
