Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% Kingsmill Cotton, these trousers are engineered for performance. This lightweight fabric is made using long staple fibres, which significantly increase the strength of the material and provide a high-quality finish that resists pilling. This ensures the trousers will maintain their professional appearance even after repeated wear in high-friction environments.
The fabric has been fully pre-shrunk, offering peace of mind that the fit will remain consistent after laundering. Furthermore, the excellent dye retention properties of the Kingsmill Cotton ensure the blue check pattern remains vibrant, preventing the washed-out appearance that can affect lower-quality garments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Chef's Chester Trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your kitchen team’s appearance with your brand identity. Embroidery is an excellent choice for adding a professional touch, such as a restaurant logo or staff names, providing a durable finish that withstands the high temperatures of the kitchen.
For larger, bolder branding or promotional messaging, our high-quality print service is an effective alternative. At MyWorkwear, our expert in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring that every garment we produce meets our exacting standards for clarity and longevity.
Use Cases
These trousers are an essential component of professional attire across the food industry. They are particularly well-suited for chefs, bakers, and butchers who require a garment that can handle a high-temperature environment. Additionally, they are an excellent choice for front-of-house staff in casual dining or deli settings where a traditional catering look is desired.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trousers feature an elasticated waist which provides some flexibility. If you are between sizes, the drawcord allows for a more tailored fit. Given the nature of kitchen work, these trousers are designed to be worn comfortably over standard undergarments, and the breathable cotton construction makes them ideal for layering under a chef's apron without overheating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the cotton fibres and ensure your branding remains sharp, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes kitchen grease and food residues without causing unnecessary wear to the fabric.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will compromise the dye retention of the fabric and may damage any custom embroidery or print. For the best results, the trousers should be line dried. We advise against tumble drying, as the high heat can lead to shrinkage and may degrade the elasticated waistband over time.
If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C. This ensures the fabric is smoothed without scorching the natural cotton fibres. For a deeper clean, these trousers are suitable for professional dry cleaning using tetrachloroethene.
