Black Chef Shirts
Style Highlights
Our original chef work shirt, with underarm vents, a dedicated thermometer pocket, and the signature apron tab.
A clean henley with a snap placket, sleeve pocket, and an apron neck tab for the strap.
The core black option
This page stays focused. The black lane here is the Chef Shirt, our original professional chef workshirt, designed by a former chef. It’s a full button-front with breathable underarm vents, a dedicated thermometer pocket, and TILIT’s signature apron tab at the back neck. If you’re building a tight black uniform, that’s the anchor.
Other black tops you’ll see nearby
If you want a tee-weight uniform piece, the Work Henley Tee comes in Black. It’s a henley, not a chef shirt, with one sleeve pocket for pens or a thermometer and a signature apron neck tab.
If you’re after a more traditional collared workshirt, the French Kitchen Workshirt has a classic collar, armpit vents, and a flap button pocket with a hidden internal slot for a sharpie or pen. Its listed fabric options are White French Twill and Gray Herringbone, not black.

Collection buying guide
Black chef shirts live or die on details. You’re wearing them hard, then washing them, then wearing them again. The small pieces of function matter more than the pitch.
The black staple here is the Chef Shirt. It’s a full button-front professional chef workshirt, with breathable underarm vents for airflow where you cook, a dedicated thermometer pocket, and the signature apron tab at the back neck to keep your strap in place. It’s the same straight-ahead build that’s been trusted by hospitality teams for over a decade.
If your needs shift away from a button-front chef shirt, there are two nearby lanes worth knowing. The Work Henley Tee is a henley silhouette that comes in Black, with a sleeve pocket and apron neck tab for the basics. The French Kitchen Workshirt leans classic with a traditional collar and a flap button pocket, plus a hidden internal slot for a sharpie or pen. It’s offered in White French Twill and Gray Herringbone.
