Aussie Chef Jackets

Long sleeves give more forearm coverage against splash and radiant heat from grills, fryers and ovens, which is why they remain standard on a hot line. Short sleeves are cooler and are common in cafes, prep kitchens and cooler sections.

A zip front closes quickly, is fast to remove and gives a clean unbroken line that suits open kitchens. A classic front uses buttons or studs and is the traditional chef jacket look, which many venues prefer for front-facing brigades.

White is the traditional kitchen colour and reads as classic chef dress in a dining room. Black hides marks better across a long shift, which is why it is common in open kitchens and venues where the brigade is visible to guests.

Most kitchens allow more than one jacket per chef so a soiled jacket can be changed mid-shift and laundered without leaving a gap in the roster. Order quantity should reflect your laundry cycle and how many shifts run between washes.
