Product Overview
The Premier Chef's Essential Short Sleeve Jacket is a foundational piece of hospitality attire, designed to withstand the rigorous demands of a busy professional kitchen. Combining a traditional aesthetic with modern utility, this jacket features a right-hand wrap fastening secured by high-durability resin buttons. The short sleeve design is particularly advantageous in high-temperature environments, providing necessary ventilation while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance through its structured mandarin collar.
Key Features
- Five-button wrap-over fastening: Provides a secure and professional fit that stays in place during fast-paced service.
- Long-life resin buttons: These buttons are engineered to withstand the frequent friction and high temperatures of industrial laundering without cracking or degrading.
- Left sleeve double pen pocket: Offers convenient access to essential tools, ensuring you are never searching for a pen when noting orders or checking inventory.
- Mandarin collar: Delivers a clean, modern neckline that remains comfortable throughout long shifts.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this jacket strikes the ideal balance between comfort and resilience. The lightweight fabric ensures breathability in the heat of the line, while the polyester content provides the structural integrity required to hold its shape wash after wash. The wrap-over design offers an extra layer of protection at the front of the body, and the short sleeves allow for a full range of arm movement without the restriction of a longer cuff.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This chef's jacket is a superb canvas for branding. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated finish; adding a head chef’s name or a business logo in high-quality thread provides an elevated sense of professionalism that stands up well to frequent washing. For larger or more vibrant graphics, our printing services offer a bold alternative. Our expert team in Telford has been refining these techniques since 1976, ensuring your customisation is handled with technical precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is primarily designed for kitchen staff operating in restaurants, hotels, and catering environments. It is equally suited for front-of-house staff in open-kitchen settings where a tidy appearance is paramount. Given its durability, it is a reliable choice for high-volume commercial kitchens and culinary education centres.

Practical Advice
With a size range spanning from XS to 4XL, this jacket is designed to accommodate various builds. When selecting your size, consider the degree of movement required in your specific role. If you typically wear a base layer beneath your jacket, you may find the more generous end of your size range provides a more comfortable fit throughout a long shift.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the hygiene and appearance of kitchen wear is critical for safety and professionalism. This garment is suitable for a domestic wash at 60°C, which is essential for effectively removing grease and food-based stains that accumulate during service.
For more intensive cleaning requirements, the jacket is also safe for industrial laundering at temperatures up to 85°C. Following these specific temperature guidelines ensures that the resin buttons and the poly-cotton blend maintain their integrity, preventing premature wear and ensuring the jacket remains a staple of your uniform for the long term.
