Sizing & Care

Most of these run one size — the Chef's Hat uses a velcro back tab, the snapbacks adjust at the snap, and the Watch Cap and Off Hours cap are one-size. Check the size chart if you're between fits. The Chef's Hat washes cold on low heat; keep the embroidered snapbacks away from harsh detergents and bleach to protect the embroidery. The Off Hours cap is spot clean only, and the Watch Cap is final sale. For matching a whole crew, our team ordering program can get everyone in the same look, and you can also browse our black chef hats.

More about chef hats

Which chef hat fits your line?

If you're cooking on a hot line and need hair control that passes the health department, the Chef's Hat is the pick — a stretch cotton-twill skull cap with a mesh top lid that vents heat off your head, and an updated front seam that sits closer instead of standing up tall and floppy. The velcro back tab dials it in for any head size, and it washes cold, low heat, shift after shift. The USA-made Cotton Watch Cap covers the same hair-control job while keeping your head warm on a cold walk-in run — 100% cotton rib knit that holds its shape wash after wash.

On shift, off shift

For a hat that works on the pass and follows you out the door, the five-panel Downtown Snapback and the Black Embroidered Snapback both adjust at the snap and hold their shape through repeated wear. The Off Hours Hat, a nylon six-panel surf cap from the Tilit X Oofos collection, is the grab-and-go after service — broken in from day one and spot clean only. All of them read as clean over chef whites or streetwear, which is exactly how a working cook wants it.

Chef Hats FAQs

Which chef hat is best for a hot kitchen line?

The Chef's Hat is built for it — a stretch cotton-twill skull cap with a mesh top lid that vents heat off your head when the kitchen gets hot. The updated front seam sits close to the head instead of standing up tall and floppy, and a velcro back tab dials in a snug fit. It washes cold on low heat, shift after shift.

Do these chef hats keep hair contained for the health department?

Yes. The Chef's Hat is a stretch cotton-twill skull cap made for hair control on the line, and the USA-made Cotton Watch Cap — 100% cotton rib knit — keeps hair contained while warming your head on cold walk-in runs or an early commute. Both are simple, no-fuss pieces meant to earn a spot in your kitchen bag.

How do I care for the embroidered hats?

Keep the Downtown Snapback and Black Embroidered Snapback away from harsh detergents and bleach to protect the embroidery. The Off Hours Nylon Surf Cap is spot clean only — no machine washing, since that keeps the embroidery and structure intact. Store it dry and in shape. The Chef's Hat is the machine-friendly one: cold water, low heat.

Which hat works both on the line and off duty?

The snapbacks cross over easily — the Downtown Snapback pairs with a workshirt on shift or over a waxed apron, and the Black Embroidered Snapback reads clean whether you're plating or grabbing coffee after close. The Off Hours Nylon Surf Cap is the true off-duty pick: broken in from day one and just as at home over chef whites as streetwear.
