Chefs Jackets

The Whites Vegas is a short-sleeved, double-breasted chefs jacket made from a polycotton blend. It is designed as a practical, everyday workwear option for professional kitchen environments where comfort during service and straightforward laundering matter as much as durability.

In a busy kitchen, clothing takes a great deal of punishment. The polycotton construction on this jacket holds up well to repeated machine washing and daily wear, and the double-stitched seams are there to resist the kind of stress that comes from constant movement through a working service. The short-sleeve cut helps with ventilation during hot service periods, which is a meaningful consideration for brigade members working close to the pass or on hot sections.

From a practical standpoint, the jacket offers several features that suit a working kitchen well:

• Double-breasted front provides a degree of protection against splashes and minor heat exposure
• Black colourway helps to conceal minor staining between washes
• Polycotton fabric is machine washable and dries quickly
• Double-stitched seams add durability under daily, heavy-use conditions
• Short-sleeve design improves airflow during high-temperature service periods

The black finish also makes this jacket well suited to open kitchens and pass-facing roles where presentation matters to front-of-house standards. It is available across a broad size range, making it a practical choice for outfitting a mixed-size brigade uniformly.

This jacket sits at the everyday workwear end of the range. Operations looking for heavier-duty or more tailored options may find an alternative cloth weight or cut better suited to their requirements. If you are kitting out a full team and want to talk through the options, we are happy to help.

The Southside short sleeve chefs jacket is a slim-fitted polycotton garment designed for kitchen and front-of-house staff who need a practical, presentable uniform that holds up through a full service. The short sleeve cut and cool-vent panels make it a sensible choice in warm kitchen environments where comfort during sustained work is a real consideration.

The jacket is constructed from a polycotton blend, which balances durability with ease of care — an important factor when garments are laundered frequently in a professional setting. The fit is tailored without being restrictive, and the design is clean enough to cross between back-of-house and customer-facing roles, which suits open-kitchen formats and street-food style operations particularly well.

From a practical standpoint, the jacket includes a few useful details that make a difference during service:

• Cool-vent panels to help manage heat build-up during busy periods
• Thermometer pocket on the left sleeve for easy probe access
• Roll-back cuffs with press-stud fastening to keep sleeves secured when needed
• Unisex cut available across a wide size range
• White finish suitable for operations with a consistent uniform standard

This jacket is well suited to independent restaurants, café kitchens, street food operators, and front-of-house team members who share a uniform with kitchen staff. It is a lighter-duty garment by design — operations requiring heavier protective workwear or specialist safety clothing should consider a more robust alternative.

The Whites Nevada is a short-sleeve chefs jacket designed for kitchen environments where heat and sustained physical work are the norm. Made from a polycotton lite twill — 65% polyester, 35% cotton — it balances the durability of synthetic fibre with the comfort of cotton, sitting at a practical 270g that feels light through a full shift without sacrificing structure.

The short-sleeve cut and built-in moisture-wicking panels are the jacket's most operationally relevant features. In high-temperature kitchens, particularly during busy service periods, these elements help regulate body temperature and move sweat away from the skin, which makes a measurable difference to comfort and focus over a long shift. The two-tone white and black colouring gives a clean, modern appearance on the pass without demanding the kind of careful laundering that an all-white jacket requires.

• Short-sleeve design reduces heat build-up during high-intensity service
• Moisture-wicking panels help keep staff comfortable through long shifts
• Polycotton construction holds its shape and resists wear in daily commercial use
• Two-tone colourway maintains a professional appearance with less visible soiling on the sides
• Unisex cut available across a broad size range, practical for mixed brigades

As a polycotton garment, this jacket is suited to kitchens looking for everyday workwear at a practical price point. It is not a heavyweight protective jacket, so it is worth considering whether your environment or any applicable health and safety requirements call for a heavier fabric specification. For sites with specific PPE considerations, a cotton-rich or flame-resistant alternative may be more appropriate.

The Nevada works well for café kitchens, restaurant brigades, contract catering teams, and any operation looking to maintain a consistent uniform across a mixed-size team. If you are kitting out a larger brigade or have specific uniform requirements, it is worth a conversation before ordering in bulk to make sure the sizing and specification are right for your team.

The Whites Ladies Fitted Jacket is a polycotton chef jacket cut specifically for a female figure, designed to offer a more comfortable and practical fit than a standard unisex garment. The curved shaping follows the body's natural lines, reducing the bulk and restriction that often comes with a straight-cut jacket worn over a shift.

In a working kitchen environment, comfort over a long service matters as much as appearance. The lightweight polycotton fabric helps with heat management, and the three-quarter sleeve length gives chefs the option to work with sleeves as-is or roll them back during particularly demanding periods. Underarm ventilation is built in to assist with airflow, which makes a genuine difference during high-heat service.

From a practical standpoint, the jacket offers several features that hold up well day-to-day:

• Double-breasted fastening provides secure closure during active service
• Split cuff on the three-quarter sleeve allows easy rolling without bulk
• Left arm pocket sized for a thermometer or pen — keeps essentials accessible
• Curved cut reduces excess fabric and improves freedom of movement
• Lightweight polycotton construction supports comfort across long shifts

This jacket is well suited to front-of-house kitchen roles, open kitchens, and any setting where a professional appearance and day-long wearability are both important. It is a practical everyday workwear choice rather than a heavy-duty protective garment, and is best considered alongside your wider uniform requirements.

If you're unsure about sizing or need to kit out a team, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Le Mans is a unisex chef's jacket designed for everyday use in professional kitchen environments. Cut in a classic long-sleeve style, it is made from a polycotton blend that balances durability with comfort across long service periods.

Polycotton is a practical choice for kitchen whites. It holds its shape and colour through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, while remaining more breathable than full synthetic fabrics. For kitchens operating multiple shifts or with high laundry turnover, this matters in day-to-day management of brigade uniform stocks.

The double-stitched seams are a useful detail at this price point: seam failure is one of the more common reasons kitchen whites are retired early, and reinforced stitching extends the working life of the garment under the physical demands of a busy kitchen. The unisex cut keeps ordering straightforward for operators managing a mixed brigade.

• Polycotton fabric suitable for regular commercial laundering
• Double-stitched seams for extended garment durability
• Unisex cut simplifies uniform management across a brigade
• Long-sleeve design meets standard kitchen uniform requirements
• Lightweight construction supports comfort during long service periods
• Available in sizes S, M, L, 3XL and 4XL

Size guide

No chest measurements are stated for 3XL and 4XL. Call the team if you need help choosing one of those sizes.

This jacket is well suited to brigades in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and hospitality training environments where a reliable, no-fuss uniform solution is needed. It sits at the practical end of the Chef Works range: operators with more specific fit, fabric, or compliance requirements may find a heavier-duty or more tailored option from the wider range better suited to their needs.

If you are kitting out a full brigade and want guidance on sizing, quantities, or uniform options across the range, the team is happy to help.

The Whites Atlanta chef jacket is a practical, everyday brigade garment made from a polycotton fabric with a Teflon protective coating. The coating helps repel liquids and resist staining, which extends the usable life of the jacket and reduces the effort required to keep whites looking presentable during and after service.

The three-quarter sleeve design offers a practical compromise between arm protection and ventilation, a reasonable consideration in kitchen environments where heat builds quickly during a busy service. The press stud fastening runs the full length of the front placket, providing a secure and neat finish that can be undone quickly when needed.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the polycotton construction holds its shape well through regular commercial laundering, and the Teflon layer helps surface soiling rinse away more readily than untreated fabrics. Key practical points include:

• Teflon coating repels liquids and eases stain removal at laundry
• Three-quarter sleeves aid airflow during high-temperature service periods
• Press stud fastening allows quick removal between sections or at end of service
• Polycotton construction tolerates frequent commercial washing cycles
• Unisex cut suits mixed brigades

This jacket is well suited to front-line kitchen roles in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar environments where a clean, professional appearance is expected. It is a reliable standard-grade option rather than a heavy-duty specialist garment, so kitchens with particularly demanding conditions may want to consider a more robust alternative.

Please select your size from the drop-down menu. If you are kitting out a full brigade or are unsure which garments best suit your kitchen's workload, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Size guide

The Southside Band Collar Chefs Jacket is a lightweight, short-sleeved kitchen jacket designed for professional kitchen use. The band collar replaces the traditional double-breasted collar found on more formal chefs whites, resulting in a cleaner, less bulky neckline that sits more comfortably through a long shift.

Made from a 190gsm fabric, this jacket is noticeably lighter than heavier traditional workwear. Breathable panels on both sides help with airflow, which is a practical consideration in hot kitchen environments where temperatures can climb quickly during service. It is the kind of garment that tends to suit kitchens where staff are on their feet for extended periods and comfort over a full shift matters as much as appearance.

• Lightweight 190gsm fabric reduces heat retention during service
• Breathable side panels improve airflow in hot kitchen conditions
• Band collar sits lower and lighter than a standard double-breasted collar
• Short sleeve design suited to warm kitchen environments
• Available in white, black, and charcoal colourways

This jacket is well suited to catering operations, restaurants, and hospitality venues looking for a practical, comfortable workwear option without the bulk of more traditional chefs jackets. It is available in sizes S through to XL, selectable from the dropdown.

If you are kitting out a larger team or are unsure which colourway or size runs best for your staff, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you get the right fit first time.

The Whites Vegas is a short-sleeved, double-breasted chef jacket made from a polycotton blend. It follows the traditional chef whites format while incorporating practical details that hold up well in a working kitchen environment — double-stitched seams, a classic double-breasted front, and a fabric composition that balances durability with everyday wearability.

In a busy kitchen, comfort and practicality matter as much as appearance. The short-sleeved cut improves air circulation during service, which helps kitchen staff stay comfortable when working close to hot surfaces or in poorly ventilated sections. The double-breasted front provides a degree of protection against splashes and minor contact burns, which remains one of the main reasons the design has remained standard across professional kitchens.

From an operational standpoint, the polycotton fabric earns its place in most brigades:

• Machine washable, reducing laundry turnaround time between shifts
• Holds its shape and colour well with regular washing
• Double-stitched seams resist stress at high-wear points
• Available in a wide size range, supporting mixed brigades
• White colourway suits both open and closed kitchen environments

The Vegas jacket is well suited to restaurants, cafés, contract catering operations, and pub kitchens where a clean, professional appearance is required without a high per-unit outlay. It works well as a standard brigade uniform where jackets are laundered frequently and replaced seasonally. For operations with more demanding hygiene or presentation requirements — or where staff wear jackets front-of-house — a heavier-weight or more structured garment may be worth considering.

If you are kitting out a full brigade or want guidance on sizing across a team, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The Chef Works Calgary is a unisex chefs jacket designed for everyday professional kitchen use. It is cut from a lightweight 65/35 polycotton lite twill fabric and features a Cool Vent back yoke — a mesh-backed panel that allows heat to escape and air to circulate during service, which makes a practical difference when working in a hot kitchen environment for extended periods.

In a busy kitchen, comfort and freedom of movement directly affect how well a brigade performs across a full shift. The Calgary's lightweight polycotton construction keeps the jacket from feeling heavy or restrictive, while the ventilated back helps regulate body temperature during peak service periods. It is the kind of garment that tends to be well received by kitchen teams who spend long hours on the pass or working close to hot equipment.

Key features that translate into everyday operational value:

• Cool Vent back yoke promotes airflow and reduces heat build-up
• Lightweight 65/35 polycotton fabric is comfortable over long shifts
• Polycotton blend withstands regular commercial laundering
• Unisex cut suits mixed brigade environments
• Clean black finish works across front-of-house visible kitchen settings

This jacket is suited to kitchens looking for a practical, mid-weight everyday uniform option. It is a reasonable choice for brigades in high-temperature environments where ventilation is a priority. If your team requires heavier-duty protection or more structured tailoring, a heavier-weight jacket from the Chef Works range may be worth considering instead.

If you are outfitting a full brigade and need guidance on sizing or garment mix, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Whites Vegas is a long-sleeve chef's jacket in a straightforward unisex cut, made from an 80/20 polyester-cotton blend. It is one of the most commonly used jackets in professional kitchens across the UK, largely because it offers a practical, no-fuss design that suits a wide range of kitchen roles without unnecessary complexity.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the polycotton fabric holds up well under the conditions typical of a busy service environment — heat, movement, and frequent washing. The higher polyester content helps the jacket retain its shape and resist heavy creasing through repeated laundry cycles, which matters when you are managing a team uniform across multiple shifts.

From an operational standpoint, the jacket works well as a reliable everyday uniform piece:

• Unisex cut suits mixed kitchen teams without needing separate stock lines
• Polycotton construction tolerates repeated industrial laundering
• Long sleeves provide a degree of arm protection during service
• Simple, clean white design meets most front-of-house and back-of-house presentation standards
• Available across a broad size range to accommodate different body types

There are no specialist installation or setup considerations with a garment of this type. It is worth noting that the 80% polyester composition means it performs best at standard commercial wash temperatures — check your laundry contractor's recommended cycle if you are running high-temperature industrial machines, as sustained very high heat can affect polyester-heavy fabrics over time.

The Vegas jacket is well suited to kitchens looking for a dependable, cost-effective uniform solution — from small independent restaurants to larger sites with high staff turnover where value for money across volume orders is a priority. Operators needing a heavier-duty or more structured jacket for senior or front-facing roles may find a higher-specification garment more appropriate.

If you are kitting out a team and want to talk through sizing, quantities, or whether this jacket fits your uniform requirements, the team is happy to help.

The Hartford jacket from Chef Works is a lightweight, unisex chef's jacket designed for everyday professional kitchen use. It's made from a polycotton lite twill — a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend — that balances durability with comfort across long shifts. The zip front fastening makes it quicker to get on and off than a traditional double-breasted style, which suits high-turnover brigades or staff who move between front and back of house.

In a working kitchen, heat management matters. The Hartford addresses this in a couple of practical ways: Cool Vent® panels along the sides help draw air through the jacket and wick moisture away from the body, and the long sleeves can be rolled and secured with tabs when the temperature climbs. It won't replace a purpose-built ventilated jacket in an extremely high-heat environment, but for the majority of kitchen settings it performs well throughout a service.

The fabric weight keeps it comfortable without sacrificing the structure you'd expect from a professional jacket. Key practical points:

• Zip fastening for fast on/off during service
• Cool Vent® side panels to help regulate body temperature
• Roll-up sleeves with securing tabs for flexibility
• Polycotton construction holds its shape through regular commercial laundering
• Unisex cut available across a broad size range

The Hartford is well suited to chefs working in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar environments where a reliable, lightweight everyday jacket is needed. If your team works in an unusually hot or heavy-use environment, it's worth considering whether a heavier-duty or more technical fabric would be a better fit. If you're kitting out a brigade and have questions about sizing or volume pricing, the team is happy to help.

The Whites Boston short-sleeve chef jacket is a straightforward, practical workwear choice for kitchen brigades where comfort during service is a priority. Made from an 80/20 polyester-cotton lite twill blend, it sits at the lighter end of the polycotton spectrum, which suits kitchens where staff are working in close proximity to heat sources for extended periods.

The short-sleeve cut encourages airflow around the arms and helps keep wearers cooler during busy service periods — a practical consideration in high-output kitchens where temperatures can climb quickly. The double-breasted front provides the conventional layer of protection against splashes and minor heat exposure that professional jackets are expected to offer.

From an operational standpoint, the polycotton construction holds up well to the regular commercial laundering cycle that most sites run. It resists the pilling and distortion that 100% cotton can develop over time, and it dries quickly, which matters when you need a clean jacket ready for a second shift.

• Short-sleeve design supports comfort through long, hot service periods
• Double-breasted front offers standard splash and heat protection
• Polycotton construction withstands repeated commercial washing
• Unisex fit available across a full range of sizes from XS to 2XL
• Lightweight twill fabric suitable for high-temperature kitchen environments

This jacket is well suited to casual dining kitchens, cafés, contract catering sites, and back-of-house operations where a clean, functional uniform is required without a significant per-head spend. For sites that require a heavier-duty or more structured garment — or where front-of-house presentation is a factor — it is worth considering a longer-sleeve or heavier-weight option from the broader range.

If you are kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing across a mixed brigade, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through what tends to work in practice.

The Chef Works unisex lime chefs jacket is a double-breasted brigade jacket designed for commercial kitchen environments where a degree of colour coding or front-of-house visibility is required. Made from a polycotton twill fabric, it sits in a practical middle ground between full cotton and synthetic blends — reasonably breathable for hot kitchen conditions while holding its shape and colour through regular commercial laundering.

The three-quarter sleeve length is a practical choice for kitchen use, reducing the risk of catching on equipment during service while keeping the forearm reasonably protected. A left breast pocket and a thermometer pocket are included, which are standard requirements for most brigade and food safety contexts.

For day-to-day kitchen use, the polycotton construction offers a few straightforward advantages:

• Holds colour well through high-frequency laundering cycles
• Lighter weight than full cotton, which suits warmer kitchen environments
• Double-breasted front provides a degree of spill and splash protection
• Unisex cut suits mixed brigade teams without separate sizing ranges
• Suitable for both kitchen and front-of-house service roles

This jacket is well suited to smaller operations, catering colleges, event catering teams, and any setting where colour-coded brigade wear helps identify kitchen roles. It is not a heavy-duty chef's coat intended for high-heat or intensive production environments — operators in those settings may find a heavier, full-cotton alternative more appropriate for the demands of continuous service.

If you're kitting out a team and want to talk through sizing, colour options, or suitability for your specific operation, we're happy to help.

The Chef Works Springfield is a short-sleeved men's chef's jacket designed for practical, everyday kitchen use. Made from a polycotton blend — 60% polyester and 40% cotton — it offers a balance of breathability and durability that holds up well through regular commercial laundering cycles.

In a working kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter as much as appearance. The Springfield addresses both. The two-way zipper replaces traditional buttons, removing one of the more common frustrations with conventional jackets during a busy service. Vent side panels help manage body heat during peak kitchen periods, which makes a noticeable difference in high-temperature environments. A branded back neck tab keeps apron straps in position without the need for adjustment, helping maintain a tidy, consistent front-of-house and back-of-house presentation throughout a shift.

• Two-way zip closure for quick on and off between tasks
• Vent side panels to aid airflow in hot kitchen conditions
• Sleeve pockets for a thermometer and phone, keeping tools accessible without disrupting workflow
• Apron neck tab to prevent straps slipping during service
• Lightweight polycotton construction suited to daily commercial wash routines

The Springfield is best suited to kitchen brigades looking for a practical, modern-fit jacket at a sensible price point. It works well across restaurant, hotel, and contract catering environments where a clean, uniform appearance is required without the weight or formality of a traditional double-breasted jacket. It is not intended as a heavy-duty protective garment and is more appropriate for brigade presentation than high-intensity grill or fry station work.

If you are kitting out a team and have questions about sizing consistency across styles, or whether this jacket suits your specific uniform requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This is a double-breasted chefs jacket from Chef Works, made in a polycotton twill fabric and finished in blue. It features three-quarter length sleeves and includes a left breast pocket alongside a thermometer pocket. The jacket is cut to a unisex fit, making it a practical choice for mixed kitchen brigades where a single uniform style is preferred.

Polycotton twill is a sensible fabric choice for kitchen environments — it holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering better than pure cotton, while remaining reasonably comfortable during long shifts. The three-quarter sleeve length suits kitchens where staff move between hot and cooler sections, and it keeps the cuffs clear of food contact areas without the need to roll sleeves.

• Double-breasted front provides an additional layer of protection from heat and spillage
• Three-quarter sleeves reduce contamination risk at the cuff
• Thermometer pocket keeps temperature probes accessible and secure
• Blue colourway supports front-of-house visibility or brigade colour coding
• Polycotton construction handles regular commercial laundering reliably

This jacket is sized for a chest of 40–42 inches and weighs 290g, keeping it light enough for sustained wear. It is worth noting that this is a single size listing — if you are outfitting a team, the same jacket is available across multiple sizes, and it is worth checking stock levels before placing a volume order.

Well suited to casual dining kitchens, café operations, food production environments, and front-of-house staff where a smart but practical uniform is required. The blue colourway also works well as a visual identifier for different brigade roles.

If you are equipping a full team or have questions about sizing across your brigade, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Chef Works Arcadia is a unisex chef jacket designed with both comfort and sustainability in mind. It uses a recycled stretch Cool Vent mesh fabric construction, which gives the garment a degree of flexibility that traditional woven chef whites do not typically offer. The result is a jacket that moves with the wearer rather than restricting them — a practical consideration for kitchen roles that involve repetitive movement, reaching, and long service periods on the pass.

In a working kitchen environment, comfort over a full shift matters more than it is often given credit for. The stretch fabric reduces the physical fatigue associated with stiffer garments, and the ventilated mesh panels support temperature regulation during busy service. These are not cosmetic features — they have a direct bearing on how comfortable a brigade member feels by the end of a double shift.

• Stretch recycled fabric supports a full range of movement during service
• Ventilated mesh construction helps manage body temperature under kitchen heat
• Unisex cut suitable for mixed brigade environments
• Environmentally conscious materials for operators with sustainability commitments
• Contemporary styling suited to open kitchen and pass-facing roles

It is worth noting that this jacket sits within a more fashion-forward, athleisure-influenced design category. It is well suited to casual dining, modern hospitality concepts, and operators who want their front-of-house or open kitchen teams to wear something that reflects a contemporary brand identity. Teams working in more formal fine dining environments may prefer a traditionally structured jacket.

If you are considering this jacket as part of a wider uniform rollout, or are unsure whether the cut and fabric weight suits your specific kitchen environment, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Chef Works Cannes is a short sleeve, unisex chefs jacket designed for kitchen environments where heat and sustained physical effort are part of the working day. Built from a polycotton fabric with Chef Works' Cool Vent technology, it is designed to draw moisture away from the skin, helping kitchen staff stay comfortable during long service periods without the restriction of a traditional long-sleeved jacket.

In practical terms, the short sleeve cut and lightweight construction make this jacket well suited to hot kitchens — grill sections, pastry departments, and catering operations where ambient temperatures run consistently high. The moisture-wicking properties help maintain comfort from the start of a shift to the end, which matters in environments where staff are on their feet and working at pace throughout service.

Key practical features include:

• Short sleeve design reduces heat retention during busy service
• Cool Vent moisture-wicking technology keeps the wearer dry
• Polycotton construction balances durability with everyday wash performance
• Unisex fit suitable for mixed kitchen brigades
• Available in a range of standard sizes to suit most team members

As a polycotton garment, it will launder well in a commercial or domestic context, though operators running high-volume brigades may want to consider holding spares given the jacket's lighter weight construction. It is not a heavyweight formal whites jacket, so it may not suit front-of-house or fine dining environments where a more structured appearance is expected.

This jacket is a practical choice for street food operations, casual dining kitchens, café brigades, and any team working in warm conditions where comfort during service takes priority. If you are equipping a larger team and want to discuss sizing or volume options, the team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Tulum is a unisex chef jacket designed around the practical demands of kitchen work, built using recycled materials as part of Chef Works' sustainable Flex Series. The jacket uses knitted mesh panels across the sleeves, shoulders, and upper yoke — areas where heat and restricted movement are common complaints during long service periods.

In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and mobility have a direct effect on how well a brigade performs across a full shift. The Tulum addresses this with a stretch construction that allows a full range of motion — useful whether you're working at a pass, moving between sections, or dealing with the physical demands of a high-volume service. The breathable mesh areas help with temperature regulation without compromising the clean, professional appearance expected front-of-house.

From an operational standpoint, the jacket offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Stretch fabric reduces restriction during repetitive tasks and fast-paced service
• Recycled knitted mesh panels improve airflow in hot kitchen conditions
• Minimalist cut presents a clean, professional look suitable for open kitchen environments
• Unisex sizing makes uniform procurement straightforward across mixed brigade teams
• Sustainable construction for operators with environmental sourcing commitments

It's worth bearing in mind that this is a lighter-weight, performance-oriented jacket rather than a traditional heavy cotton brigade coat. For kitchens where more substantial protection or a strictly classic appearance is required, a conventional woven jacket may be more appropriate. The Tulum is particularly well suited to modern, fast-paced environments where comfort and presentation carry equal weight.

If you're equipping a full brigade or need guidance on sizing across a team, we're happy to help you work through the options.

The Southside Harlem is a short-sleeve chef jacket designed for commercial kitchen environments where comfort during long shifts matters as much as presentation. Made from a recycled polycotton blend — 80% recycled polyester, 20% cotton — it offers a practical balance of durability and breathability, with mesh panels positioned to aid airflow in hot kitchen conditions.

In a busy kitchen, staff clothing takes a lot of punishment. This jacket is built to withstand regular commercial laundering without significant loss of shape or colour, which helps keep uniform standards consistent over time. The zip-up front makes it practical to put on and take off quickly, which is a small but useful consideration during busy service changeovers.

• Mesh panels support airflow in hot kitchen environments
• Recycled polycotton construction handles regular commercial laundering well
• Zip fastening allows quick and easy on/off between service periods
• Band collar and relaxed fit provide a contemporary, clean uniform appearance
• Short-sleeve design reduces heat retention during prolonged kitchen work

Available in sizes S, M, L and XL. Select your size from the drop-down menu. The Harlem range sits at the practical, everyday-use end of the workwear spectrum — well suited to operations that need a reliable, presentable uniform without a premium price point.

If you are kitting out a full brigade or want guidance on uniform options across different kitchen roles, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.

The Southside Harlem is a short-sleeve chef jacket designed for everyday professional kitchen use. Cut in black with a band collar and relaxed fit, it presents a clean, contemporary appearance that works well across a range of front-of-house and back-of-house environments. The zip-up front makes it straightforward to put on and remove during a busy shift.

Constructed from a polycotton blend using 80% recycled polyester and 20% cotton, the Harlem jacket is built to handle repeated commercial laundering without losing its shape or colour. The 190gsm fabric weight strikes a practical balance: substantial enough to wear well through a full service, while mesh panel detailing aids airflow and helps keep wearers cooler in hot kitchen conditions. Black fabric also has the practical advantage of being more forgiving of the inevitable marks and splashes of kitchen work.

Key practical points for operators considering this jacket:

• Breathable mesh panels reduce heat build-up during service
• Black colourway conceals everyday kitchen staining effectively
• Zip fastening is quick to operate and easier to keep clean than traditional stud fronts
• Polycotton construction withstands frequent high-temperature laundering
• Relaxed fit supports comfortable movement through a full shift
• Available in sizes S, M, L and XL

Size guide

This jacket is well suited to kitchens looking for a modern, functional uniform piece at a sensible price point. It is a practical choice for both kitchen brigade members and front-of-house staff in open kitchen settings. If you are kitting out a larger team and want to discuss sizing across the full Harlem range, we are happy to help you get the right fit for your crew.

The Southside Oakland is a short sleeve chefs jacket made from a lyocell and cotton blend. That fabric choice is a deliberate departure from the polyester-heavy workwear that dominates most kitchen uniform ranges — lyocell is notably more breathable and softer against the skin, which matters when you're working a full service in a hot kitchen environment.

In practice, the short sleeve cut and moisture-wicking side panels allow better airflow than a traditional long sleeve jacket, helping to keep body temperature manageable during busy periods. It won't replace purpose-built ventilation, but it does make a noticeable difference over a long shift compared with heavier polyester alternatives.

From a practical standpoint, the jacket includes a few details that are worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Single row of silver stud press buttons for quick fastening and removal
• Sleeve pockets suited to carrying a probe thermometer or tasting spoons
• Smart collar and clean black finish suitable for front-of-house visibility
• Lightweight construction that holds up to regular commercial laundering

This jacket is well suited to chefs and kitchen staff who find heavier jackets uncomfortable during service, particularly in kitchens without adequate air conditioning or in warmer months. It is available in sizes S, M, L and XL, so you can choose the size that suits each member of your team.

If you're kitting out a full brigade and want to talk through sizing or fabric options for your specific environment, our team is happy to help.

The Chef Works Hartford is a single-breasted chef jacket designed for everyday kitchen use. Built in a lightweight cotton twill with zip fastening, it is a straightforward, no-frills workwear option aimed at culinary teams who need reliable, comfortable kit that holds up through a full service.

In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and freedom of movement matter considerably. The Hartford's Cool Vent side panels help manage heat during prolonged periods at the pass or on the line, making it a practical choice for kitchens where temperatures climb during peak service. The zip front allows quick changes between sections or at the start and end of shifts.

Practical day-to-day benefits include:

• Lightweight construction that reduces fatigue over long shifts
• Cool Vent panels to aid airflow in hot kitchen environments
• Zip fastening for quick, secure closure
• Graphite colourway that presents well front-of-house without showing wear as readily as white
• Suitable for both male and female kitchen staff in a unisex cut

This jacket is well suited to casual dining operations, contract catering environments, and smaller kitchen teams looking for an affordable, functional uniform option. For sites requiring heavier-duty or more formal chef whites, other options within the Chef Works range may be worth considering.

Size guide, as stated by the supplier: M has a chest size of 40"-42" / 102-107cm and weighs 230g. No chest size or weight is stated for S and 4XL.

Sizes: S, M and 4XL. If you are equipping a full team and want guidance on sizing or volume pricing, the team at Advantage are happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Chef Works Hartford is a women's chef jacket designed specifically for professional kitchen use. It features a long-sleeve zip-front construction in black, cut to a fitted women's silhouette rather than adapted from a unisex pattern. That distinction matters in practice — a jacket that fits properly allows easier movement during service and reduces the discomfort that comes from ill-fitting chef wear worn across a full shift.

The Hartford is part of Chef Works' lightweight range, making it a practical choice for kitchens that run warm or where staff are on their feet for extended periods. The zip fastening is quicker to open and close than a traditional double-breasted button coat, which can be a minor but genuine convenience during a busy service.

• Women's-specific cut for a better range of movement
• Zip-front fastening for ease of wear during service
• Lightweight fabric reduces discomfort in warmer kitchen environments
• Classic black finish suits most front-of-house and back-of-house dress codes
• Long-sleeve design meets standard kitchen PPE and hygiene requirements

Sizing follows women's UK sizing conventions, so it is worth checking the chest measurement guide before ordering if you are between sizes. The Hartford is well suited to chefs and kitchen staff who want a properly fitted, functional jacket without unnecessary bulk.

Available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Select your size from the drop-down menu.

The Southside Oakland is a short sleeve chef's jacket made from a lyocell and cotton blend. Where many workwear jackets default to polyester, this fabric choice prioritises breathability and softness against the skin — a practical consideration for anyone working long shifts in a hot kitchen environment. The white finish and neat collar keep the presentation clean and professional throughout service.

In a working kitchen, comfort has a direct effect on performance. The short sleeve cut and moisture-wicking side panels help manage heat buildup during busy periods, which is particularly relevant in kitchens with limited ventilation or high ambient temperatures. The fabric feels noticeably lighter than standard uniform blends, which makes a difference across a full double shift.

From a practical standpoint, the jacket includes:

• Sleeve pockets suitable for a thermometer, pen, or tasting spoon
• Silver single-stud press buttons for quick fastening and removal
• Moisture-wicking panels at the sides for improved airflow
• A lyocell-cotton fabric that washes well and holds its shape over regular laundering

This jacket is well suited to chefs and kitchen staff who find heavier polyester uniforms uncomfortable during service, or who work in kitchens where temperature regulation is a persistent issue. It is available in sizes S, M, L and XL, so you can choose the right fit for each member of your team. For larger brigades or those requiring embroidered branding, it is worth getting in touch to discuss options before ordering in quantity.

If you are unsure which size or style best suits your team's requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Whites Boston is a short-sleeve chef jacket in a unisex cut, designed for everyday commercial kitchen use. It fastens with stainless steel press studs, which are more practical in a working kitchen than traditional knotted cloth buttons: quicker to fasten and easier to clean around. The jacket is cut for an easy fit, making it comfortable across a range of builds during a long shift.

Sold as a five-pack, this is a sensible way for kitchens to maintain a working stock of whites without ordering individual jackets each time. Having a rotation of jackets on hand is straightforward good practice. It supports hygiene standards, reduces wear on individual garments, and means staff are never short of a clean jacket at the start of service.

• Short sleeves suit high-temperature kitchen environments where ventilation matters
• Stainless steel press studs withstand repeated commercial laundering better than plastic alternatives
• Unisex cut offers a practical fit for mixed brigades
• Lightweight fabric is more comfortable during long or high-heat service periods
• Five-pack format reduces reorder frequency and keeps uniform stock consistent

As with any workwear, it is worth considering your laundering cycle and brigade size when deciding how many packs to hold. For larger teams or high-frequency laundry use, holding additional stock ensures continuity. This jacket is well suited to kitchens looking for a reliable everyday white at a sensible price point rather than a premium embroidered front-of-house option.

Each pack contains five jackets in one size. Available in S, M and L. Please select your size from the drop-down menu. Kitchens needing a mix of sizes will need to order a pack of each size. If you are outfitting a full brigade or need guidance on sizing across a team, we are happy to help you work through the quantities before you order.

The Whites Vegas chef jacket is a straightforward, practical uniform garment used widely across commercial kitchens, hotels, and catering operations. Each pack supplies five identical jackets in one size, a practical way to stock a section, kit out new starters, or build up rotation stock without repeated individual orders.

In a working kitchen, having enough spare jackets in circulation matters. A five-pack supports a rotation pattern across the working week, reducing the daily pressure on laundry and making mid-shift changes easier when hygiene standards or spill damage demand it. The double-breasted front can be fastened on either side, which gives the option to conceal minor marks during a busy service without needing a full change.

Key practical features of the Vegas jacket include:

• Stainless steel press stud fastening, secure and straightforward to operate even in a busy service
• Reversible double-breasted front to extend wearable life between changes
• Long sleeves providing basic arm protection around hot equipment and surfaces
• Classic white finish that reflects heat and keeps the wearer cooler during service
• Machine-washable construction for straightforward daily laundering

The fabric is an 80% recycled polyester, 20% cotton polycotton blend with double-stitched seams. This composition holds up to regular commercial laundering reasonably well, though it is worth noting this is an entry-level garment. It suits operations where practicality and cost-per-head matter more than premium finish. The unisex cut means a single stock covers all team members without maintaining separate lines.

This pack is well suited to smaller operations, start-up kitchens, or businesses hiring seasonal or temporary staff. Larger brigades with higher daily jacket turnover may want to consider packs in multiple sizes or heavier-duty fabric options from the wider Whites range.

Available in S, M and L. Please select your size from the drop-down menu. If you are unsure how many jackets per head your operation needs, or which size split to order across a team, we are happy to help you work through it before you place your order.

The Whites Vegas chef jacket is a practical, short-sleeve unisex brigade jacket designed for everyday commercial kitchen use. Each pack supplies five jackets in one size, making it a straightforward option when kitting out new starters, expanding a team, or simply building up the rotation stock that busy kitchens rely on.

The short-sleeve cut improves airflow and freedom of movement during demanding service periods, useful in hot kitchen environments where a long-sleeve jacket can become uncomfortable over a full shift. The black colourway is a practical choice for customer-facing roles in open or theatre kitchens, where minor marks are less visible mid-service. The double-breasted front fastens on either side, offering an element of protection against splashes and making it straightforward to present a clean face without a full jacket change. Stainless steel press stud fastenings are robust and resistant to repeated machine washing.

Key operational advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Short sleeves aid comfort and movement in high-temperature kitchens
• Unisex cut removes the need to hold separate male and female stock
• Black colourway reduces the visible impact of minor staining mid-service
• Double-breasted design allows the front to be reversed to cover small marks quickly
• Five-pack quantity supports a weekly rotation without running short between wash cycles

The fabric is an 80% recycled polyester, 20% cotton blend with double-stitched seams. It is machine washable, which is a practical requirement in most commercial laundry routines. The recycled polyester content may be relevant for operators whose procurement criteria include material sustainability.

This jacket suits most general kitchen environments, from pub kitchens and cafés through to hotel and contract catering operations. The pack size is particularly practical for onboarding new staff or replacing worn stock across a brigade. For larger teams or higher-frequency laundry cycles, it may be worth considering a larger pack quantity.

Available in S, M and L. Please select your size from the drop-down menu. If you are unsure which jacket style, size range, or pack configuration suits your team best, our team is happy to help you work that out before you order.

The Chef Works Hartford is a women's chef coat designed for everyday kitchen wear. Cut with a zip fastening rather than the traditional double-breasted button closure, it offers a cleaner front profile and a quicker on-and-off during a busy shift. The lightweight polycotton construction keeps the garment manageable across a full service without feeling heavy or restrictive.

In a working kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter as much as appearance. The Hartford is built to be worn for long periods, through prep, service, and the hours in between, without the stiffness that can come with heavier chef wear. The polycotton blend is practical from a laundry standpoint too, holding its shape and colour reasonably well through regular commercial washing cycles.

• Zip front fastening for a neat, functional closure
• Lightweight polycotton fabric suited to extended wear
• Women's cut for a more appropriate professional fit
• White finish suitable for front-of-house and open kitchen environments
• Practical for high-frequency laundering without significant deterioration

It is worth noting that this is a lightweight coat rather than a heavy-duty chef's jacket. It is well suited to warmer kitchen environments, front-of-house catering roles, and positions where mobility and comfort are the priority. Operations requiring heavier thermal protection or more structured professional wear may want to consider a heavier-weight alternative within the Chef Works range.

Please select your size from the drop-down menu. If you are outfitting a team and need guidance on sizing, fit across different body types, or choosing the right weight of chef wear for your environment, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
