Product Overview
The Premier Long Sleeve Chef's Jacket (PR657) is a refined essential for the modern kitchen professional. Designed with a focus on both presentation and practicality, this jacket features a traditional ten-button wrap-over front that provides a clean, professional silhouette.

Engineered to withstand the rigours of a high-pressure catering environment, this garment balances a polished aesthetic with the rugged durability required for daily service.

- A dedicated pen pocket on the left sleeve offers convenient access to essential tools without compromising the jacket's lines.
- The mandarin collar provides a sophisticated, contemporary look that stays out of the way during active kitchen tasks.
- The unisex sizing and wide range of fit options, from XS to 4XL, ensure a consistent team appearance across the entire kitchen brigade.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill, this jacket is designed for longevity. The poly-cotton blend is a lightweight fabric that offers the breathability of cotton alongside the crease-resistance and strength of polyester. This specific twill weave is adept at hiding minor spills while remaining easy to press, ensuring you look as sharp at the end of a shift as you did at the start.
The fabric is specifically engineered to handle high-temperature washing, which is vital for maintaining hygiene standards in food preparation areas. It provides a reliable barrier against kitchen splashes without being overly restrictive, allowing for full range of movement when navigating a busy service line.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth twill surface of this chef's jacket serves as an excellent canvas for customisation. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. Adding your logo or the chef’s name in high-quality thread creates a distinguished look that can withstand the high-temperature wash cycles required for kitchen wear.
Should you require a larger, more prominent design for event catering or promotional staffing, the fabric also accommodates high-quality print. Our in-house team in Telford, drawing on expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding remains as durable as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for head chefs and kitchen teams in restaurants, hotels, and high-end catering establishments. Its professional finish makes it equally appropriate for front-of-house staff in open-plan kitchens or for culinary instructors who require a garment that reflects their expertise.

Practical Advice
Given the wrap-over design, we recommend checking our size guide carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the chest and shoulders. If you frequently wear thermal base layers or heavier clothing beneath your jacket in colder kitchen environments, you may wish to consider a size larger to allow for ease of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your jacket, it is essential to follow the recommended laundering procedures. Proper care ensures the resin buttons remain secure and the fabric does not lose its shape over time.
This garment is suitable for industrial laundering at temperatures up to 85°C, which is necessary for removing stubborn grease and ensuring complete sanitisation. For domestic care, a 60°C wash is recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the fabric and the crispness of your embroidered logo. Failure to follow these temperature guidelines may lead to the buildup of oils within the fibres, eventually degrading the fabric's performance and professional finish.
