Product Overview
The S906 Chefs Flat Cap is a refined alternative to traditional kitchen headwear, designed for culinary professionals who require a sharp, contemporary appearance without sacrificing functionality. Featuring a rounded silhouette and a small, stiff brim, this cap provides a secure fit and a streamlined profile. It is engineered to withstand the rigours of a high-pressure commercial kitchen while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable and focused on their craft.
Key Features
- Rounded Design: Provides a modern, ergonomic fit that conforms comfortably to the head, ensuring the cap stays in place during fast-paced shifts.
- Small Stiff Brim: Offers structural integrity to the headwear, maintaining a professional shape and helping to keep the wearer's vision clear.
- Air Ventilation Holes: Positioned at the back of the cap to facilitate airflow, which is essential for temperature regulation in hot kitchen environments.
- Lightweight Fabric: Constructed from a lightweight material that reduces bulk and heat retention, improving overall comfort throughout the day.
Design & Performance
The performance of any kitchen garment is measured by its ability to manage heat. This cap is specifically designed with lightweight fabric and integrated ventilation holes at the rear to encourage heat dissipation. By allowing air to circulate, the design helps prevent the discomfort often associated with more restrictive headwear. The rounded design is not merely aesthetic; it provides a better fit for various head shapes, while the stiffened brim ensures that the cap retains its professional look even after significant use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This Chefs Flat Cap is an excellent canvas for customisation, helping to unify your kitchen team’s appearance. Embroidery is highly recommended for a superior finish, allowing for the precise application of restaurant logos or staff names that look professional and stand the test of time. For larger or more vibrant branding requirements, high-quality printing is also available. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear has been providing expert customisation services from our Telford facility since 1976, ensuring every garment meets our rigorous standards before reaching your kitchen.
Use Cases

Its stylish design also makes it suitable for front-of-house staff in open-kitchen concepts where maintaining a cohesive, professional brand image is paramount. It is a practical choice for bakeries, restaurants, and professional food preparation facilities.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that the rounded design is meant to sit firmly but comfortably on the head. To ensure maximum cooling performance, we recommend ensuring the ventilation holes at the back are not obstructed by hair or other garments.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the hygiene and structural integrity of your headwear is essential for both professional appearance and food safety compliance.
We recommend following the specific washing instructions found on the internal label. Washing at temperatures higher than recommended can cause the lightweight fabric to shrink or lead to the distortion of the rounded crown, affecting the overall fit.
The use of harsh chemical bleaches should be avoided. Such chemicals can weaken the fabric structure and cause the black pigment to fade prematurely, resulting in a worn-out appearance that does not reflect a professional kitchen standard.
When drying, avoid excessive heat from tumble dryers. High heat can damage the stiffening materials used in the brim, causing it to lose its shape and sag. Air drying is the preferred method to maintain the cap's original silhouette.
If ironing is necessary to restore a crisp finish, use a moderate heat setting. Excessive heat can scorch the fabric or damage any custom embroidery or print, leading to permanent marks on the garment.
