Product Overview
The Premier Chefs Coolchecker short sleeve jacket is a refined garment engineered specifically for the rigours of a professional kitchen. When the service temperature rises, comfort and moisture management become paramount; this jacket addresses those challenges through a strategic combination of traditional tailoring and modern fabric technology. It features a short sleeve design to allow for maximum arm movement and ventilation, coupled with a wrap-over front that maintains a clean, professional aesthetic throughout the shift.
Key Features
- Coolchecker back panel: This specialised fabric section offers exceptional moisture-wicking properties, drawing perspiration away from the skin to keep the wearer cool and fresh in high-temperature environments.
- Ten-button wrap over: The double-breasted style with ten self-fabric buttons provides a secure fit and an additional layer of protection against minor splashes and heat.
- Mandarin collar: This stand-up collar design offers a contemporary look while ensuring the jacket remains comfortable around the neck, preventing irritation during long hours of wear.
- Double pen pocket: Located on the left arm, this dedicated storage ensures essential tools are always within reach without compromising the jacket's silhouette.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a balanced blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this jacket is designed to withstand the daily stresses of the hospitality industry. The lightweight fabric ensures that the garment does not feel cumbersome, allowing for agile movement between stations. The inclusion of the Coolchecker panel on the back is a deliberate performance choice, focusing breathability where it is needed most. The polyester content provides the necessary durability and colour retention, while the cotton ensures a soft touch against the skin.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your uniform is an extension of your brand. This jacket is ideally suited for both embroidery and print customisation. For a professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for chest-mounted logos or staff names; the dense weave of the poly-cotton fabric supports intricate stitching without puckering. If you require larger, high-impact branding across the front, our high-quality printing processes offer a vibrant finish. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on expertise dating back to 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is an essential choice for executive chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen staff working in busy restaurants, hotels, or catering environments. Its moisture-wicking properties make it particularly effective in kitchens with high humidity or limited ventilation. It is also an excellent option for front-of-house staff in open-kitchen concepts where maintaining a pristine professional appearance is mandatory.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this jacket is designed for a professional fit that allows for movement. If you typically wear layers beneath your chef jacket, you may wish to consider the broader sizing range to ensure maximum comfort. The short sleeve design is particularly effective when paired with lightweight trousers for a complete thermal management solution in the kitchen.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the hygiene and integrity of your chef wear is critical for both longevity and food safety. We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is necessary to effectively break down fats, oils, and organic stains common in kitchen environments, ensuring the garment remains sanitary for every service.
To preserve the structure of the mandarin collar and the finish of the self-fabric buttons, avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents which can degrade the polyester fibres over time. Following the recommended temperature settings will also ensure that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and securely bonded to the fabric.
