Professional White Chef Jacket – Complete Collection
The white chef jacket remains the ultimate reference in the world of professional catering. A symbol of hygiene, elegance and culinary tradition, the white chef's jacket is a natural choice in the brigades of fine dining restaurants as well as in contract catering kitchens. Our complete collection offers a wide choice of chef jackets suited to all professionals: men's chef jacket, women's chef jacket and unisex chef jacket, with options for short or long sleeves depending on your needs. To complete your look, discover our matching accessories, chef trousers, professional shirts and many other coordinated garments.
White in professional kitchens is not merely an aesthetic choice: it reflects cleanliness, allows stains to be spotted immediately and inspires confidence. Whether you are looking for a men's long-sleeved chef jacket for protection, or a white women's chef jacket with a tailored fit, our selection of professional chef jackets meets the most demanding requirements of the trade. Other colours such as charcoal or black are also available for those who prefer a modern alternative to traditional white.
Our Collection of White Chef Jackets
Men's White Chef Jacket
Our range of men's white chef jackets comes in several styles to meet the specific needs of head chefs, commis chefs and cooks. Long-sleeved chef jackets offer optimum protection against splashes and heat, whilst short-sleeved versions ensure lightness and freedom of movement during busy services. The length of each style is carefully designed to provide optimum coverage whilst preserving freedom of movement.
Our white styles, with contrasting panels or piping, add a modern touch whilst retaining traditional elegance. Pair your jacket with matching chef trousers for a perfectly coordinated professional look. Every chef's jacket is designed to withstand frequent industrial laundering whilst maintaining its brightness. Browse our competitive jacket prices and take advantage of our regular promotional prices on a selection of professional workwear. Add your favourite styles to your wishlist to find them easily when you next place an order.
Women's White Chef Jacket
The white women's chef jacket deserves particular attention in terms of cut and fit. Our women's chef jackets feature anatomical cuts that respect the female silhouette without compromising comfort or mobility. The chest measurement is specifically designed to offer an impeccable drape and a professional appearance.
Available with long sleeves for main kitchen stations or short sleeves for pastry and less exposed positions, our white chef jackets for women combine elegance and functionality. The length of the cut is tailored to pair perfectly with high-waisted or standard chef trousers. The fitted cut flatters the silhouette whilst retaining the freedom of movement required for technical kitchen work. Complete your outfit with our professional accessories selected for women in catering.
Unisex Chef Jacket
The unisex chef jacket represents the ideal solution for creating a uniform team look whilst simplifying stock management. These unisex styles in white offer a comfortable straight cut that suits both men and women. Available in classic white as well as charcoal for establishments seeking a more contemporary colour, these jackets adapt to all visual identities. Practical for bulk orders, the unisex chef jacket also makes it easier for colleagues to swap garments when needed.
Technical Specifications
Fabrics and Composition
The quality of a professional chef jacket relies above all on the choice of fabrics. Our collection favours cotton-polyester blends, a perfect combination of natural comfort and technical durability. This blend ensures excellent retention of white, withstands high-temperature washing and dries quickly.
We also offer innovative styles in recycled polyester featuring 37.5® Technology, which regulates body temperature by wicking moisture five times faster than traditional fabrics. For environmentally conscious professionals, our chef jackets in organic cotton represent a sustainable alternative without compromising on quality. These fabrics are available in a range of colours, from immaculate white to elegant charcoal.
Design Details
Every detail matters in a professional white chef jacket. The modern mandarin collar with concealed fastening adds a contemporary touch, reminiscent of the look of a quality shirt, whilst effectively protecting the neck. This collar can be double-layered for a refined look that is particularly appreciated front-of-house during interactions with guests.
Concealed press-stud fastenings ensure a discreet and hygienic closure, preventing snagging and allowing quick donning. The integrated pen pocket is one of the essential functional accessories, keeping a thermometer or pen within easy reach for temperature checks and notes. Embroidered ventilation eyelets ensure optimum airflow even during the most demanding services.
Some premium styles incorporate a ribbed knit waistband on the back for better support, or a sportswear-style mesh panel offering stretch and breathability. The wrap-over front opening is the ideal spot for embroidery on the chest, personalising your chef's jacket with your establishment's logo for a smart, professional institutional look. The fold-down collar creates a modern over-shirt effect, evoking the elegance of a formal shirt, which is very popular front-of-house.
Sleeve and Length Options
The choice between long-sleeved and short-sleeved chef jackets depends on your station and the season. Long-sleeved chef jackets protect against burns and splashes, particularly in hot kitchen environments. Short-sleeved chef jackets are better suited to pastry, cold sections or warm climates. The overall length of the jacket is also an important consideration: our hip-length styles pair ideally with classic chef trousers or durable professional jeans.
A key innovation: the redesigned sleeves on our Basil2 / Pepper2 styles offer an optimised fit, allowing them to be rolled up easily over the arms and forearms for greater comfort during food preparation. Kitchen professionals can thus adapt their chef's jacket to suit the intensity of the service.
Complete Uniforms and Accessories
For a perfectly coordinated brigade, pair your white chef jacket with our full range of professional catering equipment. Our chef trousers, available in a straight cut or jeans-style cut, complement our white jackets perfectly. For front-of-house or reception positions, a professional white or charcoal shirt completes your look with elegance.
Our kitchen accessories — aprons, toques, neckerchiefs and skull caps — are available in the same colours as our jackets for a perfectly unified look. Add these items to your wishlist on our online shop to gradually build your complete professional wardrobe. Black is increasingly establishing itself as a on-trend alternative to traditional white, particularly for front-of-house teams or modern restaurant concepts.

Care Instructions
Keeping your white chef jacket brilliantly white requires a few good habits. Wash your chef's jacket after every service at a minimum of 60°C to eliminate bacteria and stains. This recommendation also applies to your chef trousers and all your professional garments.
For stubborn stains on your white professional clothing, pre-treat with a stain remover before washing. Avoid using bleach on a daily basis, as it may affect the colour and cause the fabric to yellow over time. Gentle tumble drying at a moderate temperature preserves the size, length and shape of your professional chef jacket.
The longevity of your chef jackets also depends on rotation: having 3 to 5 chef's jackets per person allows each garment to last considerably longer.
FAQ
How do I choose between a men's and women's chef jacket?
Men's chef jackets offer a straighter, more relaxed cut, whilst women's styles feature tailored fits around the chest and waist. If you prefer a gender-neutral cut, opt for a unisex chef jacket.
What is the difference between a unisex and a gendered chef jacket?
The unisex chef jacket features a standard cut suitable for both men and women, making stock management easier. Gendered styles (men's chef jacket or white women's chef jacket) offer specific morphological adjustments in terms of length and cut.
Which size should I order based on my chest measurement?
Please refer to the sizing chart available on each product page. Measure your chest and consult the guide. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one for comfort. Also check the length of the jacket to ensure it pairs well with your trousers.
Which colour should I choose for my kitchen?
White remains the industry standard in professional kitchens for reasons of hygiene and tradition. Charcoal and two-tone styles offer a modern compromise that is very on-trend. The charcoal colour is particularly popular for contemporary restaurant concepts or front-of-house positions. Pure black is generally reserved for front-of-house or positions without direct food contact.
Which accessories should I pair with my chef jacket?
Our professional accessories — aprons, toques, skull caps and neckerchiefs — are available in the same colours as our jackets for a perfectly coordinated uniform. A matching pair of chef trousers, or even a durable professional jeans-style option, ideally completes your brigade's look. A shirt worn under the jacket is also recommended for front-of-house or reception positions.
