How to choose the right Basic Chef Jackets

• Confirm the sleeve length needed, choosing short sleeves for hotter kitchens and long sleeves for extra protection.
• Select the correct size for each staff member to ensure comfort, safe movement and a professional fit.
• Decide between white and black jackets based on your brand image and how visible stains will be during service.
• Consider the intensity of use and washing frequency so you choose jackets with the durability your operation requires.
• Match jacket style with other chefs clothing such as aprons, trousers and headwear for a consistent uniform.
• Plan spare jackets for peak periods or shift changes to maintain hygiene and presentation standards.

Care and maintenance

• Wash jackets regularly at the temperature recommended by the manufacturer to remove grease and food residues.
• Avoid harsh bleach or abrasive chemicals that can weaken fibres and fade colours over time.
• Close studs before washing to protect fastenings and prevent snagging in the machine.
• Dry thoroughly and store in a clean, ventilated area to prevent odours and mildew.
• Inspect seams, cuffs and studs frequently and replace heavily worn jackets to maintain hygiene and safety.
• Keep a rotation of clean jackets on hand so staff can change quickly if garments become soiled during service.
