The Whites BA113 cap really hits the mark for modern kitchen environments. It cleverly bridges the gap between casual comfort and professional catering wear. It’s not trying to be overly technical; it’s just a solid, dependable piece of kit that feels built to last. The polycotton fabric is the star here, handling repeated washing without losing its shape or colour.

- Practicality: It’s incredibly low-maintenance and looks smart straight from the wash.
- Breathability: Lacks dedicated air vents, which could be a factor in very hot kitchens.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Flour Pot Bakery" in Brighton was looking to move away from inconsistent and informal headwear to create a more cohesive and professional image for their front-of-house and baking teams. They needed something comfortable for all-day wear that was also incredibly easy to care for.
"We switched the whole team over to the Whites charcoal caps and the difference was immediate. They look so much smarter, and the staff love them because they’re light and comfortable. They wash brilliantly, which is a massive plus for us. It’s a small detail that has really lifted our overall presentation."
David Chen – Owner
The change resulted in a noticeable improvement in team presentation and reinforced the bakery's professional, artisan brand identity to customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find Your Fit: Use the simple plastic adjuster at the back to find a snug, but not tight, fit. It should feel secure without causing pressure.
- First Wash: We recommend washing the cap before its first use, just as you would with any new piece of clothing.
- Team Distribution: The 'one size fits most' design makes it easy to hand these out to new staff members without any fuss.
Keeping It Going
- Washing: This cap is happy in a commercial or domestic washing machine. A warm cycle is ideal. Wash with similar colours.
- Drying: Air drying is best to maintain the shape of the peak. Avoid tumble drying if possible.
- Stain Removal: The polycotton blend and dark colour are forgiving, but for any stubborn kitchen stains, pre-treat before washing.
- Storage: Store flat or on a hook to help the cap keep its classic shape between wears.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this cap suitable for both male and female staff?
A: Absolutely. It's a unisex design with a fully adjustable strap, making it a comfortable fit for everyone on the team.
Q: How do you adjust the size?
A: It features a classic snap adjuster at the back. Just unclip it, choose the right size, and clip it back into place.
Q: Can I get my company logo embroidered on this hat?
A: Yes, the smooth polycotton front panel is ideal for professional embroidery or heat-press vinyl application by a third-party specialist.
Q: Does the charcoal colour fade with frequent washing?
A: The polyester in the polycotton blend is specifically chosen for its excellent colour retention, so it's designed to resist fading.
Q: Is it hot to wear during a long shift?
A: It's made from a lightweight 190gsm fabric, making it more comfortable than heavier hats. However, it does not have mesh ventilation panels.
Q: What exactly is 'polycotton'?
A: It's a fabric made from a blend of polyester and cotton fibres, combining the durability and crease-resistance of polyester with the comfort of cotton.
Q: Is the peak (the brim) stiff or floppy?
A: The peak is structured and pre-curved to hold its shape effectively, shielding your eyes from overhead lights or the sun.
Q: What's the best way to wash it to maintain its shape?
A: A standard machine wash is fine. For best results in maintaining the peak's shape, we recommend air drying rather than tumble drying.

Explore more from Whites Chefs ClothingWhy a Polycotton Blend is a Kitchen Workhorse
Ever wondered why so much professional workwear uses a 'polycotton' blend? It’s all about getting the best of both worlds. Think of it like a perfect culinary fusion: you’re combining two ingredients to create something better than the sum of its parts.
The polyester (65% in this case) is the tough, resilient part. It provides fantastic durability, crease resistance, and ensures the charcoal colour stays deep and true, even after dozens of commercial laundry cycles. The cotton (the other 35%) is all about comfort. It’s breathable and soft against the skin, which makes a huge difference when you’re wearing it for an eight-hour shift. So, you get a hat that can take a beating like a synthetic, but still feels comfortable like a classic cotton cap. It’s this clever blend that makes it truly suitable for the demands of a commercial kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Bistros & Cafes: Perfect for keeping your open-kitchen chefs and baristas looking sharp, approachable, and part of a team.
- Mobile Food Trucks & Pop-Ups: A practical and sun-shielding headwear solution that gives your brand a professional, coordinated look on the go.
- Artisan Bakeries & Delis: Offers a clean, modern uniform touch that’s less formal and more practical than a traditional toque.
