Sizing and Fit

How Professional Chef's Clothing & Commercial Kitchen Workwear Works

Chef's clothing isn't just about looking the part—it's serious functional kit! Professional chef jackets use double-breasted designs with reversible fronts, letting chefs flip the panel to hide stains during service. The breathable cotton blends (typically 65% polyester/35% cotton) wick away moisture while standing up to frequent washing. Generous pockets hold essential tools, while strategically placed vents improve airflow in hot kitchens. Most importantly, chef workwear incorporates flame-resistant treatments and barrier technologies that protect against spills, splashes and heat—all while maintaining comfort during those marathon 12-hour shifts!

Safety Guidelines

Top Tips for Using Professional Chef's Clothing & Commercial Kitchen Workwear

To extend the life of your chef's clothing, establish a rotation system with at least three sets per staff member to reduce wear. Wash at 60°C with commercial detergent rather than domestic products, and avoid fabric softeners which can reduce flame resistance. For stubborn stains, pre-treat immediately rather than waiting until laundry day. Keep branded uniforms on-premises to prevent loss, and consider embroidered names for accountability and team pride.
