Design & Performance
Constructed from Kingsmill stretch fabric—comprising a blend of polyester, cotton, and elastane—this jacket is engineered for both longevity and flexibility. The inclusion of elastane provides essential 'give' for reaching and lifting, while the polyester-cotton blend ensures the garment maintains its shape after repeated laundering. The fabric is further enhanced with a Texpel finish, which helps to repel liquids and resist staining, keeping you looking presentable even after a long shift. This is a lightweight garment that prioritises breathability without sacrificing the durability required for daily kitchen duties.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Adding your branding to this jacket is a straightforward process handled by our expert team in Telford. For a traditional and highly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for business logos or individual names. Embroidery is exceptionally durable and withstands the frequent high-temperature washing required in the food industry. Alternatively, if you require a larger, more vibrant design for promotional events, our high-quality print services are an excellent choice. MyWorkwear has been refining these customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring your uniform reflects the quality of your establishment.
Use Cases
This jacket is specifically tailored for those working across the catering and hospitality sectors. It is an ideal choice for head chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen assistants. Given its professional appearance and practical features, it is also highly suitable for bakers, butchers, and those in open-kitchen environments where presentation is as important as performance.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layering you typically wear underneath. The stretch fabric provides a comfortable, active fit, but for those who prefer a more relaxed feel in a hot kitchen, staying true to your standard size is recommended. This jacket is designed to be worn over lightweight base layers or directly against the skin to make the most of the MeshAir Pro ventilation panels.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and professional appearance of your jacket, it is important to follow the recommended care routine. Regular maintenance ensures the stretch properties and stain-resistant finish remain effective over time.
We recommend a maximum wash temperature of 60°C using a mild process. This temperature is sufficient to ensure hygienic cleanliness in food preparation environments without causing premature degradation of the elastane fibres.
Bleaching must be avoided. Harsh bleaching agents will break down the polyester-cotton fibres and compromise the integrity of the Texpel finish and any custom branding you have applied.
Tumble drying should be performed at a low temperature only. Excessive heat in the dryer can lead to shrinkage and may damage the mesh panels. For the best results, iron at a maximum temperature of 150°C to keep the jacket looking crisp. Dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemicals used can interfere with the fabric's specialized finishes.
