Product Overview
The Premier PR557 Chef's 'Recyclight' Cargo Trousers represent a modern shift in professional kitchen apparel, moving away from heavy, restrictive traditional wear toward a more agile and sustainable alternative. These trousers are designed for the heat and high-pressure demands of the modern kitchen, offering a tapered, contemporary fit without sacrificing the utility required by hospitality professionals. By utilising certified recycled polyester, these trousers provide an environmentally conscious choice for businesses looking to reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance.
Key Features
- Lightweight Recycled Fabric: Constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, providing a breathable and comfortable experience throughout long shifts in high-temperature environments.
- Adjustable Waistband: The elasticated waistband with an integrated drawcord allows for a secure, customisable fit that moves with the wearer, essential for the physical nature of kitchen work.
- Functional Pocket Architecture: Includes two side swing pockets, a welt pocket on the upper right leg with a dedicated pen pocket, and a reverse welt pocket with a press stud tab for secure storage of essential tools and personal items.
- Versatile Styling: Featuring a tapered lower leg and an optional turn-up hem, these trousers offer a modern aesthetic that transitions easily from the kitchen to front-of-house if required.
- Certified Sustainability: Accredited by SEDEX and Amfori BSCI, ensuring that your workwear meets rigorous ethical and environmental standards.
Design & Performance
The performance of the 'Recyclight' Cargo Trousers is rooted in its 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton fabric composition. This specific blend ensures the trousers are resilient enough to withstand the frequent laundering required in the hospitality industry while maintaining the breathability of cotton. The mock stitched fly and tapered design provide a more tailored look than standard chef's trousers, ensuring staff look professional and modern. The lightweight nature of the fabric is particularly beneficial for temperature regulation, preventing the wearer from becoming overly fatigued by heavy garments in a hot kitchen environment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These trousers are well-suited for both print and embroidery customisation, allowing you to align your kitchen team with your brand identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional finish on the upper leg or pocket area, offering a durable solution for company logos or chef names that can withstand high-temperature washing. For larger, more vibrant branding, our printing services provide an excellent alternative. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on our heritage since 1976 to ensure every stitch and print meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
These trousers are ideally suited for professional chefs, catering assistants, and kitchen porters working in restaurants, hotels, and industrial catering environments. Their modern cargo styling also makes them appropriate for front-of-house staff in more relaxed, contemporary dining establishments where a traditional uniform might feel out of place.

Practical Advice
The PR557 offers a generous size range from Small to 3XL. Given the elasticated waistband, there is a degree of flexibility in the fit; however, we recommend adhering to the sizing guide for the most comfortable experience. The turn-up hem is a useful feature for those who prefer a slightly shorter leg length or a more relaxed aesthetic without the need for permanent alterations.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the recycled fabric and the vibrancy of any custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove grease and food-based stains commonly encountered in a kitchen while preserving the fabric's structure. Avoiding higher temperatures will extend the life of the garment.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and cause significant discolouration to the fabric and your embroidered or printed logo. When drying, use a low temperature tumble dry setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the shape of the tapered leg.
If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature setting. High heat from an iron can damage the recycled polyester content and may adversely affect any printed designs. Finally, these trousers should not be dry cleaned, as the chemicals involved can be too harsh for the specific fabric blend and customisation.
