Design & Performance
The jacket is constructed from Kingsmill Polycotton, a fabric renowned for its durability and resistance to the rigours of industrial laundering. This lightweight fabric blend offers the breathable comfort of cotton with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester, ensuring the garment retains its shape and colour over time. The addition of the Texpel finish acts as a barrier against spills, which is particularly beneficial in a fast-paced kitchen where splashes are inevitable. The MeshAir Pro 100% polyester mesh panels are positioned to facilitate cooling exactly where it is needed most, making this jacket a superior choice for performance-focused culinary teams.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To enhance your brand identity, this jacket is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is highly recommended for logos and staff names, providing a sophisticated professional appearance that withstands frequent high-temperature washing. For larger, more vibrant branding, our printing services offer a bold and clear finish. All customisation is handled at our Telford-based facility by our expert in-house team, which has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. This ensures your branding is applied with the precision and care your business deserves.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for professionals across the food industry, including executive chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen staff in high-volume restaurants. It is equally appropriate for bakers and butchers who require a garment that provides both protection and breathability. Its professional finish also makes it an excellent choice for front-of-house staff in open-plan kitchens where presentation is paramount.

Practical Advice
As this is a professional chef's jacket designed for movement, we recommend selecting your standard size for a comfortable fit that allows for ease of movement during busy shifts. The short sleeves make it an ideal outer layer, but it can be comfortably worn over a lightweight base layer if required.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity and appearance of your jacket is essential for long-term use. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove heavy kitchen grease and food stains while ensuring the fabric and any custom branding remain in excellent condition. Failure to follow this may result in permanent staining or fabric degradation.
You should avoid using bleach on this garment, as it will weaken the polyester-cotton fibres and lead to premature wear and discolouration. When drying, use a low tumble dry setting to prevent excessive shrinkage and to maintain the garment's tailored fit.
If ironing is required, ensure the iron temperature does not exceed 150°C. This ensures the jacket remains crisp and professional without damaging the Texpel finish or any applied customisation. For the best results and to maintain hygiene standards, the jacket is also suitable for professional dry cleaning using tetrachloroethene.
