Southside Harlem Chef Jacket Black Short Sleeve
£24.93(£29.92 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
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

Frequently asked questions
How does the Harlem jacket hold up to regular commercial laundering?
The polycotton blend is designed to withstand frequent high-temperature washing without significant shrinkage or fading. Most operators find the black colour in particular retains its appearance well over time, which helps maintain a consistent uniform standard across a team.
Is this jacket suitable for front-of-house staff as well as kitchen brigade members?
Yes. The band collar, zip front, and clean black finish give it a modern look that works well in open kitchen or pass settings where kitchen staff are visible to diners. It is a practical choice wherever a smart but functional uniform piece is needed.
How does the sizing run, and should I size up for kitchen work?
The Harlem is cut with a relaxed fit, which generally means it sits true to size for most wearers. The size guide on this page gives the chest measurement for each size. If your team members are between sizes or prefer extra room of movement, it is worth checking the full size range, and we can advise on fit if you are ordering for multiple staff.
