How to choose the right Chef Jackets and Tunics

• Match sleeve length to your kitchen conditions, choosing short sleeve or vented styles for hotter lines and long sleeve for added protection.
• Select sizes and cuts that allow easy movement, considering fitted womens styles or unisex jackets depending on staff preference.
• Decide on colours that fit your brand and service style, from classic white for fine dining to black or charcoal for open kitchens and bars.
• Look for practical features such as pen pockets, double-breasted fronts, snap or stud fastenings and band collars for a neat appearance.
• Consider fabric weight and breathability for long shifts, especially in compact kitchens or food trucks with limited ventilation.
• Plan for stock rotation by holding spare jackets for peak periods, new starters and hygiene compliance.

Care and maintenance

• Wash chef jackets and tunics regularly at the temperatures recommended on the care label to maintain hygiene and colour.
• Treat stains promptly with suitable pre-wash products to keep garments looking professional for longer.
• Avoid harsh bleach or abrasive chemicals that can weaken fibres, damage fastenings and fade colours.
• Dry garments thoroughly and store them in a clean, ventilated area to prevent odours and mildew.
• Inspect seams, buttons, snaps and mesh panels regularly and replace heavily worn items before they compromise appearance or safety.
• Keep spare, freshly laundered jackets on site so staff can change quickly if garments become soiled during service.
