FAQs

What makes this chef jacket breathable?

The jacket features large MeshAir Pro panels on the back and underarms. This aerated mesh fabric significantly increases air flow, helping to keep the wearer cool and comfortable.

How does the stain-resistant finish work?

The jacket is treated with Texpel finish, a premium treatment that repels liquids like oil and water, as well as grime. This helps to keep the jacket clean and makes it easier to wipe away spills.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The jacket has a modern, slim silhouette with an ergonomic fit, designed for exceptional comfort and freedom of movement.

What material is the jacket made from?

The main shell fabric is 100% Cotton Kingsmill with a Texpel finish (190g). The contrast fabric used for the panels is 100% Polyester MeshAir Pro.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of four pockets: one zipped side pocket for secure storage and three additional pockets for general storage.

Can this jacket be worn by women?

While designed with a male fit, some female chefs may find the slim, ergonomic fit suitable. However, it's recommended to check the sizing chart carefully for best results.

What is the best way to wash this jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low and iron on medium heat. Do not dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight

Check the size guide carefully before purchase. Consider ordering one size up if you prefer a looser fit or have a broader build. The jacket is designed for an ergonomic, slim fit.

Stain-resistant finish seems less effective

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the Texpel finish. Wash with similar colours and do not exceed the recommended water temperature.

Mesh panels feel uncomfortable or irritating

Ensure the jacket is the correct size and not pulling tightly across the shoulders or underarms. The MeshAir Pro fabric is designed for breathability and should not cause irritation if worn correctly.

Studs are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the studs are properly aligned. If a stud feels stiff, it may loosen slightly with continued use. Avoid forcing the studs, which could cause damage.
