How to Choose Olive
Start with fit: Use the fit and sizing column to decide how much room and structure you prefer. Compare construction: Use the Key difference and Material & features columns to compare the working details that separate these options. Confirm sizing: Finish with sizing. Use the linked product page and size chart to confirm the best option before ordering.
Plan the order: Shortlist the styles whose coverage, construction, and closure suit the role, then confirm current colors and availability on their product pages. For a team order, measure each wearer before standardizing on a style; people in the same role may still need different fits or sizes.
Sizing & Fit
Two different jobs, two sizing systems. The Contra Pro Chef Bib Aprons are one size, and the product page gives the full measurements (27" W × 35" L; waist strap 40" neck strap 20.5" - 36.5"). The Essential Chef Pants come in XS - 3XL in a unisex fit. Before you lock in a size run, use the Size Chart and follow the fabric-specific notes on each product page. For washing and upkeep, start with Care Instructions. Need a different apron fabric approach in the mix? Take a look at the Wrinkle Free Chef Aprons. Outfitting a team: the Contra Pro Apron is noted as completely customizable for orders of 24 or more, and Wholesale & Team Ordering is the place to start.
Collection buying guide
Every kitchen runs a little differently. Same goes for uniforms. This Olive Collection is anchored by two core pieces, so you can build an olive set without guessing: a bib apron option and a chef pant option. The tradeoff is simple, and it’s practical. Do you want your tools on your chest, or do you want an easy, relaxed pant you can live in?
Apron vs pant, by the details
If you’re here for an olive apron, start with the Contra Pro Chef Bib Aprons. The Contra Pro takes the Contra co-creation and adds a streamlined chest pocket. It’s built in lightweight waxed cotton, with the signature removable leather clasp and fully adjustable straps. The page calls out real measurements, so you can picture the coverage before you order.
If your station calls for olive chef pants, the Essential Chef Pants are the relaxed straight-leg, slightly more baggy than the slim Flex Pant. They’re made in 59% Cotton / 37% Polyester / 4% Spandex, with an elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring, reinforced knees, and welted rear pockets. Beyond the core, this collection can include pieces like the Hospitality Chore Coat, Utility Overshirt, Shorty Server Waist Apron, and Focus Socks. Use the table to line up fit, fabrics, and pocketing, then build your set.
