FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the StayCool centre back?

The StayCool centre back is designed to improve airflow and ventilation in a critical heat-generating area, helping to keep the wearer cooler and more comfortable during active kitchen work.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a durable blend of 50% Cotton and 50% Polyester, with a fabric weight of 200gsm.

Can this jacket be washed at high temperatures?

Yes, it is suitable for industrial or domestic washing at up to 65°C, which is beneficial for maintaining hygiene in professional culinary environments.

Does the jacket have pockets for tools?

Yes, it features a practical sleeve pen pocket and a chest pocket for storing essential items.

What does the apron holder tab system do?

The apron holder tab system is designed to keep your apron securely in place, preventing it from slipping or becoming untidy during use.

Is this jacket suitable for all kitchen roles?

Yes, its features like durability, comfort, and practical pockets make it suitable for various kitchen roles, from prep cooks to line chefs.

How should I care for the press studs?

Ensure press studs are properly aligned when fastening. Avoid excessive force and iron on a medium heat setting, being careful not to overheat the fastenings directly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Verify you have selected the correct size. Consult the Le Chef sizing chart and measure your chest and waist. Consider if a larger size is needed for a looser fit.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the press studs are properly aligned. If they feel stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied carefully to the mechanism. Avoid forcing them.

StayCool feature not seeming effective.

Ensure the back panel is not obstructed by other clothing layers or aprons. The feature works best with airflow; check that surrounding garments do not impede ventilation.

Fabric shows signs of wear after washing.

Adhere strictly to the recommended washing temperature (max 65°C) and avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleaching. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prolong fabric life.
