Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Yorkshire Fine Foods, a growing preserves maker based in Harrogate, needed to standardise their team's workwear to meet new BRC certification requirements. Their old mix-and-match aprons and t-shirts weren't cutting it for their hygiene audits.
"We needed something that looked professional, was easy to clean, and met food safety standards. These hygiene coats ticked every box. The team looks smart and unified, and our auditors were very impressed with the internal pockets – a small detail that makes a big difference."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
Since the switch, they’ve seen a 100% pass rate on uniform checks during audits and have improved team morale by providing quality, comfortable workwear.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always wash the coat before its first use to remove any factory residues.
- If you're adding embroidery, do it before the first wash for the best results.
- Ensure staff have the correct size for comfort and safety – too tight restricts movement, too loose is a snag hazard.
- Advise staff to use the internal pockets for essential items only to maintain a clean profile.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at high temperatures (check the label) with a biological detergent to effectively remove stains and kill bacteria.
- Wash separately from heavily soiled items like cleaning cloths to prevent cross-contamination.
- Tumble dry on a medium setting or hang dry immediately after washing to minimise creasing.
- Regularly inspect the stud fasteners to ensure they are all secure and functioning correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this coat suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, this coat features a standard, unisex design, but it's always best to check the sizing chart to ensure a comfortable fit for every member of your team.
Q: What is polycotton?
A: It's a fabric blend of polyester and cotton, combining the strength and wrinkle-resistance of polyester with the soft, breathable feel of cotton.
Q: How should I wash this Whites hygiene coat extra large?
A: We recommend an industrial or hot wash cycle (up to 60°C) with a good quality detergent to ensure it remains hygienically clean and stain-free.
Q: Can I get my company logo put on this coat?
A: Absolutely. The material and design are ideal for embroidery or heat-press vinyl application to create a professional, branded uniform.
Q: Are the studs durable?
A: Yes, they are press studs designed for commercial use and can withstand repeated washing and daily wear and tear.
Q: Why are internal pockets better for hygiene?
A: Internal pockets prevent debris from falling in and stop items from contaminating work surfaces. They also create a safer, snag-free outer layer.
Q: Is the material lightweight?
A: Yes, the polycotton blend is designed to be lightweight and non-restrictive, ensuring comfort during long shifts in a busy environment.
Q: Does the white fabric stain easily?
A: While white shows stains more clearly (which is a hygiene benefit), the polycotton fabric is hard-wearing and releases stains well during a proper hot wash.

Explore more from Whites Chefs ClothingWhy Internal Pockets Are a Hygiene Hero
Ever wondered why a proper commercial kitchen hygiene coat XL has internal pockets instead of external ones? It's a small detail with a massive impact on food safety. External pockets are magnets for debris, splashes, and bacteria. They can also easily snag on equipment, causing accidents. By moving the pockets inside, the coat presents a smooth, unbroken outer surface.
Think of it like keeping your car keys in your zipped-up handbag instead of hanging them from your belt loop in a crowded place. Inside, they're safe, secure, and not going to catch on anything or anyone. These internal pockets give your staff a place to store essentials like pens or personal items without compromising the hygienic integrity of your workspace. It's a clever design feature that helps you ace your next EHO visit.
Who Should Buy This?
- Catering Kitchens: Ideal for chefs and kitchen staff to maintain a professional, clean appearance during service.
- Food Processing Plants: A must-have for workers on a production line to comply with food safety regulations.
- Artisan Producers: Perfect for cheesemongers, butchers, and bakers who need durable, easily cleaned workwear.
- Laboratories & Cleanrooms: Provides a simple, effective barrier garment for technicians in non-medical sterile environments.
