Product Overview
The Premier Chef's zip-close short-sleeve jacket represents a modern evolution of traditional kitchen attire. Designed for the professional who values efficiency as much as appearance, this pull-on style eliminates the fuss of buttons with its streamlined, concealed zip-through fastening. The inclusion of a Mandarin collar and side vents ensures a professional silhouette that maintains comfort and range of motion throughout a demanding service.

- Double pen pocket: Located on the left sleeve for immediate access to essential tools, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted.
- Concealed zip fastening: Provides a sleek, clean look and prevents the risk of buttons coming loose or getting caught on kitchen equipment.
- Mandarin collar: Offers a classic aesthetic while providing a comfortable fit that stays clear of your apron straps.
- Side vents: Integrated to allow for increased airflow and ease of movement when reaching or bending in a busy environment.
Design & Performance
This jacket is constructed from a robust polyester and cotton blend, engineered to survive the heat and pace of a commercial kitchen. The White colourway features underarm breathable mesh panels, specifically designed to facilitate ventilation in high-temperature zones. For those opting for the Denim styles, the fabric is slightly more substantial and features reverse-coloured underarm panels, providing a rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic suitable for front-of-house visibility.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface and high-quality fabric of this jacket make it an ideal candidate for customisation. Embroidery is highly recommended for adding a professional touch, such as a chef's name or a business logo on the chest or collar, providing a durable and executive finish. For larger, more striking graphics on the back, our print services offer a vibrant alternative. Our Telford-based team has been managing bespoke workwear since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases

Practical Advice
Available in a broad range of sizes from XS to 2XL, this jacket is designed for a comfortable fit that accommodates the physical nature of kitchen work. We suggest reviewing our size guide to ensure the correct chest measurement, as a well-fitted jacket is essential for both safety and professional appearance. The short-sleeve design is particularly effective for those working over grills or high-heat stations where wrist clearance is necessary.
Caring for your product
To maintain the hygiene standards required in a kitchen and preserve the longevity of the garment, proper care is essential. The polyester-cotton blend is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand frequent laundering without losing its shape.
We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C for regular cleaning, as this temperature is effective at removing oils and organic stains common in catering. For deeper sanitisation, this jacket is also capable of withstanding industrial washing up to 85°C. Following these guidelines ensures that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and that the fabric retains its professional finish for as long as possible.
