The Chef Works B106 is a real workhorse. The polycotton fabric strikes that crucial balance between being tough enough for a chaotic service but light enough that you don't feel weighed down.

  • Best Feature: The fabric feels premium and  holds its shape and  colour after many washes.
  • Consideration: The bright red requires washing with similar colours to prevent any dye bleeding.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, wanted to refresh their kitchen team's look to match their vibrant, modern brand identity. They chose the Chef Works red jackets to replace their old, worn-out whites.

"The team loves them. They're comfortable for long shifts and  the red really pops, which our customers have commented on. They wash brilliantly and  still look smart, which is exactly what you need in a busy coastal kitchen."

Robert Finch – Head Chef, The Salty Squid

The new uniforms resulted in a noticeable boost in team pride and  helped solidify the bistro's professional and  energetic brand image.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Always wash the jacket before the first wear to soften the fabric.
  • Check the fit allows for a full range of movement in the arms and  shoulders.
  • Ensure all buttons are securely fastened before starting a shift for safety.
  • Use the dedicated pockets for their intended tools to avoid damage.

Keeping It Going

  • Wash at 60°C or lower with similar, strong colours to maintain the vibrant red.
  • Avoid using chlorine bleach, as it can damage the fabric and  fade the colour.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the jacket's shape and  size.
  • Iron on a medium setting if required, preferably while slightly damp.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chef's Uniform

Not sure what to look for in a chef jacket? We can help you pick the perfect gear for your kitchen.

Fabric is Key

Look for polycotton blends. They offer the best mix of cotton's breathability for comfort and  polyester's durability for a long-lasting, professional look.

Fit for Function

Your jacket should be loose enough for easy movement but not so baggy it becomes a safety hazard. Always check chest and  shoulder measurements.

Sleeve Length Matters

Long sleeves offer maximum protection from splashes and  heat, while short or Â¾ sleeves provide more freedom and  are cooler in hot kitchens.

Fastenings & Style

Double-breasted jackets offer an extra layer of protection. Cloth-covered or stud buttons are professional and  hide well, preventing snags.

Pockets & Practicality

Consider what you need to carry. A thermometer pocket on the sleeve and  a chest pocket for a pen or notes are incredibly useful during service.
