]This is a professional chef jacket, and it features five buttons made of a durable resin that are situated off-center and down the right side of the garment. The jacket is designed for a professional cook. You have the choice to have your chef whites customised with your name or initials, or you can buy them plain.

 

What is the main purpose of a chef jacket?

The thick cotton material offers protection against the heat of burners and ovens, as well as against the splatter that can result from boiling liquids. When worn, the double-breasted jacket provides the wearer with an additional layer of protection from burns caused by spilling liquids in the chest and stomach areas. This can also be done backwards to conceal any stains.

Total price: £15.60

What does it mean when a chef gets a black jacket?

White is a colour that is associated with hygienic practises and cleanliness, and it has also been demonstrated to be useful for deflecting heat from an environment in which food is being cooked. This finding lends further credence to the notion that white is the colour most closely associated with cleanliness. Restaurants are able to feel more confident in having their chefs operate in open kitchens where customers can observe them since black is better able to disguise stains than other colours are.

 

Why do chefs wear long sleeves?

Because of their length, the sleeves offer some protection to the arms from being cut or burned. Knotted buttons are more secure than plastic buttons because they won’t chip or fall off, and they can be undone quickly in an emergency circumstance such as a boiling oil spill. Plastic buttons, on the other hand, may chip or fall off. Because the jackets are also double-breasted, a cook who mistakenly destroys one of them can easily clean it by turning the flaps inside out. This is because the jackets are double-breasted.

The high necklines found on many chef coats can be folded down and worn as button-up professional dress shirts or left as they are for a more traditional look. Because of this, the wearer has more options available to them when it comes to customising their coat. The tucking is not required. You probably won’t feel comfortable wearing a chef coat tucked into your jeans, but you might tuck it beneath a lengthy apron to give the impression that you are more put together than you actually are.
