Collection: Chef Works Chambray Shirts

Chambray is a lightweight woven fabric with a coloured warp and a white weft, which gives it a soft denim-like appearance without the weight. Chambray shirts are worn front of house and in open kitchens where staff are visible to customers.

Chambray shirts are worn by baristas, bar staff and cooks working in open kitchens, where a uniform needs to look presentable rather than clinical. Staff working over heat or heavy soil usually wear a purpose-made chef jacket instead.

Yes. The Chef Works chambray shirts listed at Hospitality Connect include both men's and women's fits across nine lines, so a venue can put its whole team in the same look without forcing one cut on everyone.

Size uniform shirts against the manufacturer's chart for the specific style rather than assuming one size works across a brand. Cuts differ between men's and women's ranges and between styles, so measuring the team once before ordering avoids repeat exchanges.

A chambray shirt uses a softer, more textured fabric and reads as casual, which suits cafes and bars. A dress shirt uses a smoother, crisper fabric and a more structured collar, which suits formal dining rooms and event service.
