How does this t-shirt hold up to commercial laundering?

The tubular body construction and 100% cotton fabric are suited to regular machine washing at the temperatures typically used in commercial laundry. As with any cotton garment, some shrinkage is possible on the first wash, so sizing up is worth considering if you are between sizes.

Is this suitable as the only upper garment in a kitchen uniform?

It works well as a standalone top in informal or back-of-house environments such as contract catering, school kitchens, or prep kitchens. In environments with stricter uniform standards, or where staff have direct customer contact, a more structured chef jacket or tunic is likely to be more appropriate.

We need to outfit a full brigade — is this available in other sizes?

This listing covers the XL size. If you need to outfit a team across multiple sizes, it is worth speaking to us to confirm current stock across the range before placing a larger order.
