FAQs
Is the Le Chef Piqué shirt suitable for both men and women?
Yes, this shirt is designed as a unisex garment, though it features a tailored slim-fit style.
Does the shirt come in long sleeves?
No, this specific model is currently only available in a short-sleeve configuration.
What is the material weight?
The shirt is constructed from a 250gsm knitted piqué blend, providing a balance of durability and airflow.
Can I use high-heat settings when drying this shirt?
It is recommended to use low-heat settings to prolong the life of the fabric and the press stud fasteners.
Are the pen pockets large enough for a digital thermometer?
The pockets are designed for standard kitchen pens and markers; a slim digital thermometer may fit depending on its specific dimensions.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
When washed according to instructions, the high-quality piqué blend is designed for minimal shrinkage and easy care.
Troubleshooting
Press studs feel stiff or hard to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism and clean around the stud base with a damp cloth to remove any kitchen debris.
Fabric feels tight across the shoulders
The slim fit is intentional for professional output; if restrictive, consider sizing up or checking for proper garment alignment.
Discoloration or staining
Treat organic kitchen stains immediately with a pre-wash stain remover before the garment fully dries after a shift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Le Chef Piqué Knitted Chef Shirt maintains its shape and performance features, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Because of the slim-fit design, it is recommended to consult the size chart carefully; if you fall between sizes or prefer more room for movement, opting for the larger size is recommended.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold or warm water with like-colored garments. Avoid harsh bleach, which may degrade the technical fabric.
- Drying: Air drying or tumble drying on a low-heat setting is preferred to protect the press stud mechanisms and the integrity of the knitted fabric.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the press studs to prevent surface damage.
