Whites Chefs Clothing Chefs Jackets

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 Whites unisex lab coat is a plain, practical workwear garment in traditional white, made from a polycotton blend. It follows a straightforward, full-length coat style commonly associated with food production, hygiene-sensitive kitchen environments, and catering preparation areas where a clean, professional appearance is required.

Polycotton construction keeps the coat relatively lightweight while offering reasonable durability through repeated commercial laundering — a practical consideration in any setting where garments are washed frequently. The fabric weight sits at a level that works well for general food handling and preparation roles rather than heavy kitchen work where heat and steam resistance would take priority.

• Polycotton fabric handles frequent commercial washing reliably
• Unisex cut suits a wide range of team members
• White finish supports visibility of contamination in food-safe environments
• Practical for food production, prep, and hygiene-conscious roles
• Available in a range of sizes to suit most wearers

This coat is best suited to food production facilities, catering prep kitchens, hygiene-sensitive environments, and back-of-house roles where a clean, professional appearance matters but heavy culinary work is not the primary task. It is not designed to replace a chef's jacket in a hot, fast-paced cooking environment.

If you are outfitting a team across different roles or need guidance on the most appropriate garment for a specific function, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Whites Men's Hygiene Coat is a practical workwear garment designed specifically for food production, processing, and catering environments where hygiene compliance is a requirement rather than a preference. Unlike a standard chef's jacket, this coat is constructed without external pockets — a deliberate design choice that eliminates a common source of contamination risk and satisfies the requirements of many food safety and HACCP-based hygiene policies.

Made from a polycotton blend, the coat offers a balance of durability and comfort for staff working long shifts. The fabric is practical to launder and holds its shape well through regular commercial washing cycles, which matters in environments where workwear is turned around frequently.

Key practical points worth noting:

• No external pockets — reduces contamination risk and supports hygiene compliance
• Polycotton construction — durable and straightforward to maintain through commercial laundering
• Clean, uncluttered design — appropriate for food production, processing lines, and regulated catering environments

This coat is best suited to food manufacturing, food processing facilities, and catering operations where hygiene codes require staff clothing to meet specific standards. It is commonly specified by sites working to BRC, SALSA, or similar food safety frameworks, where pocket-free outerwear is a documented requirement.

If you are unsure whether this coat meets the specific requirements of your site's hygiene policy, or if you need garments for a larger team across multiple roles, it is worth having a conversation with us before placing 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 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 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.

Size guide

The Whites ladies fitted chef jacket is a professional kitchen garment designed specifically for female chefs who want a practical, well-fitting uniform rather than an oversized unisex alternative. Cut with shaped seams through the back, it follows the body's natural lines without restricting movement — an important consideration during long, active shifts.

In a busy kitchen environment, comfort and practicality matter throughout the full service. The 3/4-length sleeves with split cuffs make it straightforward to roll up when working closely with heat, and the underarm ventilation helps manage temperature during demanding periods without relying on bulkier adaptations. These are small details, but they make a noticeable difference across a full day's work.

• Shaped back seams for a fitted, non-restrictive silhouette
• 3/4-length sleeves with split cuffs for flexibility during service
• Underarm ventilation panels to help regulate temperature
• Machine washable and suitable for commercial laundering
• Classic black finish suitable for front-of-house and back-of-house kitchens

The black colourway is a practical choice for kitchens where a smart, consistent front is expected — it holds its appearance well through repeated laundering and suits both back-of-house brigade wear and kitchens with an open or theatre-style layout where chefs are visible to guests.

This jacket is well suited to chefs working in restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and similar professional environments. It is available in a range of sizes, so it is worth checking the size guide carefully before ordering, as fitted cuts can vary in tolerance compared to standard chef whites.

If you are kitting out a brigade and want to discuss sizing, fit across multiple staff members, or volume ordering, the team is happy to help.

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 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 Whites Chicago is a short-sleeve chefs jacket in the traditional brigade style, made from an 80% polyester, 20% cotton polycotton mix. It is a practical, everyday workwear piece designed for kitchen environments where comfort and durability through repeated laundering matter more than anything else.

Polycotton is a well-established choice for professional kitchen whites. The polyester content helps the fabric hold its shape and resist shrinkage wash after wash, while the cotton component adds breathability — a relevant consideration when working in a hot kitchen through a long service. Short sleeves suit warmer kitchen environments and can be preferable in certain food-preparation settings where long sleeves present a hygiene or safety concern.

The removable stud buttons are a practical feature worth noting. They allow the jacket to be fully laundered without the complication of fixed buttons, and replacement studs are straightforward to source if any are lost over time. This is a sensible design detail for a garment that will go through a commercial laundry cycle frequently.

• Removable stud buttons simplify laundering and replacement
• Short sleeves suit hot kitchen environments and certain hygiene protocols
• Polycotton blend balances durability with day-to-day comfort
• Traditional unisex cut suitable for mixed brigades

This jacket is well suited to catering operations looking for reliable, cost-effective workwear for their kitchen team. It is available in a range of sizes to suit different builds. If you are kitting out a larger brigade or have specific uniform requirements, it is worth getting in touch to discuss quantities and sizing before ordering.

The Whites Chicago is a traditional long sleeve chef's jacket designed for everyday use in professional kitchen environments. Cut in a classic double-breasted style, it is made from an 80% polyester, 20% cotton polycotton blend — a practical choice that holds its shape through repeated commercial laundering while remaining comfortable to wear across a full shift.

The removable stud buttons are a useful practical detail. They allow the jacket to be fully opened flat for washing, which makes a real difference in a busy kitchen where uniforms go through the laundry frequently. The polycotton fabric is also resistant to shrinking and colour fade, which helps maintain a clean, consistent appearance over time.

• Removable stud buttons for straightforward laundering
• Polycotton blend resists shrinking and holds shape through regular washing
• Traditional double-breasted cut suitable for most kitchen roles
• Unisex sizing in S, M, and L to suit a range of team members
• Lightweight at 420g — comfortable for long service periods

This jacket is well suited to catering teams looking for a reliable, no-fuss uniform option — whether in restaurants, contract catering, hospitality, or food production environments. It sits at the practical, everyday end of the range; operators needing specialist features such as stretch panels, moisture management, or flame-resistant fabric may find a more specialised garment better suited to their needs.

If you are kitting out a team and are unsure about sizing, fit, or whether this style suits your operation, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you choose correctly before you order.

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 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 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 Vegas is a long-sleeve chef's jacket in a straightforward unisex cut, designed to serve as reliable everyday kitchen workwear. Made from an 80/20 polyester-cotton blend, it balances comfort during long shifts with the durability needed to withstand repeated commercial laundering — a practical consideration for any kitchen operating a regular uniform cycle.

In a busy kitchen environment, workwear takes considerable punishment. The polycotton construction holds its shape and colour through frequent high-temperature washes without the fabric degrading quickly, which helps keep uniform costs manageable over time. The unisex fit makes it straightforward to outfit mixed kitchen teams from a single stock.

• Polycotton fabric tolerates rigorous commercial laundering
• Unisex cut suitable for all kitchen staff
• Long sleeve design provides appropriate coverage for kitchen work
• Available in a full size range from XS to 2XL
• Clean black colourway suits both back-of-house and customer-facing kitchen roles

It is worth considering how many covers or shifts the jacket will need to see through before replacement. For kitchens with very high turnover or more formal front-of-house kitchen exposure, a heavier-weight or more tailored jacket may be worth considering alongside this option.

The Vegas suits casual dining operations, contract catering, staff canteens, and any kitchen where practical, cost-effective workwear is the priority over presentation garments. It is a sensible baseline uniform choice for kitchens equipping a larger brigade on a budget.

If you are outfitting a full team and want to talk through sizing or quantities, we are happy to help.

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.
