Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, was undergoing a brand refresh to highlight its commitment to local sourcing and  sustainability. They decided their staff uniforms needed to reflect this new ethos, so they replaced their old polyester jackets with the Chef Works Le Mans range.

"We wanted a uniform that told our story from the moment customers saw our chefs. This jacket does exactly that. It's smart, comfortable for the team, and  the fact it's made from recycled materials is a message we're proud to stand behind. Our staff feel great wearing them."

Robert Evans – Head Chef & Proprietor

The switch helped reinforce the bistro's brand identity, leading to positive comments from customers and  a noticeable lift in team pride.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting It Ready

  • Always wash the jacket before the first use to soften the fabric for immediate comfort.
  • If ironing, use a medium heat setting and  avoid direct contact with any logos or prints.
  • Check all buttons are secure before heading into a busy service.

Keeping It Perfect

  • Machine wash with similar colours at a temperature no hotter than 65°C.
  • For stubborn stains, pre-soak the garment but avoid using harsh chlorine bleach.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and  shape.
  • Regularly check for loose threads or buttons and  repair them promptly to extend the jacket's life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chef Jacket

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect chef jacket for your needs.

Material Matters

Poly-cotton blends like this one offer the best of both worlds: the durability of polyester and  the breathability of cotton, making them ideal for tough kitchen environments.

Sleeve Style

Long sleeves provide maximum protection from burns and  splashes. Look for turn-back cuffs for a touch of style and  the option to roll them up when needed.

Fastening Type

Traditional buttons offer a classic, professional look. Double-breasted designs allow you to reverse the front flap to hide stains mid-service, which is a massive plus.

Comfort and  Fit

A good jacket should allow for a full range of movement. A unisex fit is a versatile option for outfitting an entire team of varying shapes and  sizes.

Consider the Source

Choosing a sustainable chef jacket made from recycled materials can enhance your brand's image and  appeal to eco-conscious customers and  staff.

How 17 Plastic Bottles Become a Professional Chef Jacket

Ever wondered what 'recycled polyester' actually means? It's a clever process that gives single-use plastic a second life. For each Chef Works Le Mans jacket, 17 used plastic bottles are collected, cleaned, and  shredded into tiny flakes. These flakes are then melted down and  spun into a high-quality, strong yarn. This yarn is then woven with natural cotton to create the final fabric.

Think of it like this: instead of those bottles ending up in a landfill, they're transformed into the durable, breathable armour you wear in the kitchen. The result is a 'recycled chef coat white' that feels just as good as, if not better than, one made from all-new materials, all while reducing waste. It’s a practical way to make a positive impact, one uniform at a time.
