Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head, a bustling gastropub in Bristol, needed to upgrade their kitchen team's uniform for something more durable and professional that could withstand the rigours of a busy service and frequent washing.
"We were going through chef trousers far too quickly. The old ones couldn't handle the constant washing and looked worn out after just a few weeks. The Whites trousers have been brilliant; they still look smart, and the team finds them much more comfortable for long shifts."
David Miller – Head Chef
The pub has reported a 50% reduction in their uniform replacement costs within the first six months of making the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Right Fit
- Before first use, it's a good idea to wash the trousers to soften the fabric for immediate comfort.
- Use the drawstring in addition to the elasticated waist for a secure, personalised fit that won't slip.
- Always check pocket contents before washing to avoid mishaps with pens, lighters, or notepads.
Keeping Them Looking Smart
- Wash with similar dark colours to prevent any colour bleeding and keep them looking sharp.
- These are suitable for commercial laundering, but a standard 40°C wash is perfect for most situations.
- Avoid using harsh chlorine bleaches, as these can weaken the polycotton fibres over time.
- Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry to best maintain the original shape and size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is polycotton?
A: It's a fabric that blends polyester and cotton fibres. This combination gives you the strength, wrinkle-resistance, and colour-fastness of polyester with the comfort and breathability of cotton.
Q: Are these trousers a unisex design?
A: Yes, the classic fit and adjustable elasticated drawstring waist are designed to provide a comfortable and practical fit for everyone.
Q: How many pockets do these catering trousers black have?
A: They are equipped with three pockets in total: two convenient pockets at the side seams and one patch pocket on the back.
Q: Is the waistband fully elasticated?
A: Yes, it features a wide 2-inch elasticated band all the way around, plus a drawstring cord for a fully adjustable and secure fit.
Q: What does 'classic fit' mean for trousers?
A: Classic fit refers to a traditional, straight-leg cut. It offers a good balance of comfort and a professional appearance, without being overly baggy or too tight.
Q: Can I put these trousers in the tumble dryer?
A: Yes, they are suitable for tumble drying. For best results and to prolong their life, we recommend using a low heat setting.
Q: Will they shrink after being washed?
A: The polycotton blend is specifically chosen for its high resistance to shrinking, ensuring they keep their size and fit even after frequent commercial washing.
Q: Is the black colour likely to fade over time?
A: The polyester content in the fabric is excellent at retaining dye. This means they will resist fading far better than trousers made from 100% cotton, keeping them looking smarter for longer.

Explore more from Whites Chefs ClothingWhy Polycotton is a Chef's Best Mate
Ever wonder why 'polycotton' is the go-to for so much kitchen wear? It’s a clever blend of two fabrics, polyester and cotton, giving you the best qualities of each. Think of it like a top-tier sports kit, but for the kitchen. The polyester part provides incredible strength, durability, and resistance to shrinking and wrinkles. It also holds onto dye really well, which is why these trousers stay black for longer. The cotton part brings softness and breathability to the party, wicking moisture away from the skin to keep you more comfortable. This means your trousers can take a beating in a commercial laundry and still feel good to wear, even when you're working next to a hot stove all day. It’s the best of both worlds, engineered for the professional kitchen.
