Chef Works Men's Madrid Premium Cotton Chef Coat - Professional Kitchen Uniform for Chefs & Cooks - Ideal for Restaurants, Catering & Culinary Schools

This is the perfect Egyptian Cotton Jacket for when you need to look extra nice in the kitchen. I have two of them that I maintain and use when I stage (work a night for free to experience the culture in a certain kitchen and learn their techniques or as a second step to an interview). They're great for that as they look very professional but don't have any colored trim. I think that trim makes you look like your competing with the head chef.These jackets are the perfect weight to stay crisp and remain light enough to keep you cool. You will need to starch and iron them, and when you do please keep an extra eye on the details. They will give you that extra push that you're dressed well without showing off.The only bad thing is that they are spendy and they will stain. Of course the finer the cotton the harder it is to get stains out but I've found that dropping them in an oxyclean soak as soon as you can after use and working them a bit over a couple days in the soak will prevent almost any food stain. Of course there is no cure for a metal stain from your honing steel or for carbon.Overall great jacket. Every cook should keep one pressed and ready for that impromptu opportunity in your dream kitchen or the brunch that you have to cut prime rib in the dining room.
