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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Calgary jacket suitable for a kitchen that runs very hot, such as a live-fire or tandoor kitchen?

The Cool Vent back yoke does help with airflow and is better in this regard than a standard unventilated jacket. That said, it is a lightweight polycotton garment rather than a specialist high-heat or flame-resistant jacket, so if your kitchen presents significant thermal exposure risks, a heavier-duty or purpose-rated alternative would be more appropriate.

How does the polycotton fabric hold up to daily commercial laundering?

The 65/35 polyester-cotton blend is a well-established choice for commercial kitchen uniforms because polyester adds durability and shape retention, while the cotton content provides some comfort and breathability. It handles regular commercial washing reasonably well, though as with any polycotton garment, high-temperature tumble drying over time can affect the fabric — following the care label guidance will extend garment life.

We need to uniform a mixed brigade — is the unisex cut practical for both male and female team members?

The Calgary is designed as a unisex garment, which makes it a practical choice for mixed brigades where you want a consistent look without managing separate men's and women's ranges. As with any unisex cut, individual fit preferences vary, so if you are ordering for a large team it is worth reviewing the chest sizing guide and considering whether a small run of different sizes might be needed to accommodate the range of your brigade.
