FAQs

What makes the StayCool centre back effective?

The StayCool centre back is designed with enhanced ventilation channels that allow hot air to escape more freely from the back of the jacket, promoting airflow and regulating body temperature.

Can this jacket be washed at high temperatures?

Yes, it is suitable for industrial or domestic wash at 65°C, ensuring effective hygiene for food service environments.

What is the fabric composition?

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

Is there a specific pocket for thermometers?

While there isn't a dedicated thermometer pocket, the sleeve pen pocket can often accommodate slim thermometers, and the chest pocket is also available for small items.

How does the apron holder tab system work?

The tab system provides loops or straps on the jacket designed to hold an apron securely in place, preventing it from slipping or becoming dislodged during work.

What type of closure does the jacket have?

It features a single breast fastening with a concealed placket and press studs for a neat and professional appearance.

Is this jacket suitable for industrial laundering?

Yes, it is designed to withstand industrial wash cycles at 65°C, ensuring durability and hygiene.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or too loose

As this is a unisex garment, consider trying a different size or consult the size chart for accurate measurements. Minor adjustments may be possible with tailoring.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten

Ensure the studs are correctly aligned before pressing. If they feel stiff, check for any fabric obstructions. With regular use, they should become easier to operate.

Reduced breathability in the back panel

Ensure the StayCool centre back panel is not obstructed by aprons or other garments and is clean. Follow the recommended washing instructions to maintain its effectiveness.

Fabric shows signs of wear after washing

Adhere strictly to the recommended washing temperature (65°C) and avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying. Wash inside out to protect the exterior.

  • Durable construction suitable for demanding kitchen environments.
  • Easy apron management with the holder tab system.

Cons

  • Unisex fit may not be ideal for all body types without adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and movement. The press stud fastening is designed for quick and secure closure.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for unisex wear and is compatible with standard aprons through its integrated holder tab system. It is suitable for various professional kitchen roles.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at 65°C (149°F). This temperature is suitable for industrial and domestic laundering to ensure thorough hygiene.
  2. Detergent: Use a standard laundry detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the fabric or affect its breathability features.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Excessive heat can shrink the fabric or damage the StayCool panel.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly over the StayCool panel to preserve its integrity.
  5. Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, pre-treat the affected area before washing, following the care label instructions.
