Design & Performance
This jacket is engineered to withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen. The fabric is selected for its ability to maintain a crisp appearance through long shifts, while the technical mesh panels are durable enough to survive frequent laundering. The women’s fit is not merely about aesthetics; it is designed to allow for a full range of motion, which is critical when handling heavy cookware or working at pace. The concealed fastening system is a well-engineered safety feature, ensuring that the front of the garment remains secure and professional throughout the day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly reflect your brand’s identity, this jacket can be fully customised by our expert team. Embroidery is highly recommended for creating a superior, professional finish on logos or staff names, providing a durable and high-quality appearance that withstands the heat of the kitchen. For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-definition printing services are an excellent alternative. All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility by a team that has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is as resilient as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for female chefs, catering managers, and kitchen staff working in high-output environments such as restaurants, hotels, and industrial catering units. It is particularly effective during summer months or in kitchens with limited ventilation, where maintaining a professional appearance while staying cool is paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the need for airflow; a slightly more relaxed fit can help the Mesh Air Pro panels perform more effectively. This jacket layers perfectly over moisture-wicking base layers for those working in exceptionally demanding conditions. Ensure that any custom logos are positioned away from the mesh panels to maintain the garment’s structural integrity and breathability.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your chef jacket is essential for both hygiene and the longevity of your investment. Regular washing is necessary to prevent food oils and heat from setting into the fibres, which can cause permanent discolouration or degradation of the technical mesh.
Avoiding the use of harsh bleaches is critical, as these chemicals can weaken the fabric and cause the professional black colour to fade prematurely. Bleaching may also damage the integrity of any custom embroidery or print applied to the garment.
We recommend drying the garment naturally or on a low-heat setting. Excessive heat in a tumble dryer can cause synthetic fibres to warp, leading to a loss of shape and potentially affecting the performance of the aerated panels.
When ironing, take care to avoid direct contact with the mesh sections and any printed or embroidered branding. High heat can melt the technical mesh and damage the customisation, so using a pressing cloth or ironing the garment inside out is advised to keep the jacket looking its best for every service.
