Care Instructions

1. Washing Guidelines (By Garment Type)

Tops (Chef Coats & Shirts)

    • Spot-treat deep stains with a Tide pen or gentle stain remover before washing.
      Wash in cold water to minimize shrinkage and color fading.
    • Use a mild, enzyme-based detergent to break down food oils without damaging the fabric.
    • Turn garments inside out before washing to protect logos, buttons, and surface details.
    • Tumble dry on low heat, or shake out after washing and hang dry to help minimize wrinkles.

Bottoms (Pants, Jumpsuits, Overalls)

    • Machine wash on cold with similar colors; separate darks and lights.
    • Tumble dry on low heat, or shake out after washing and hang dry to help minimize wrinkles.
    • Fasten zippers and buttons to prevent snags or abrasion.
    • Avoid overloading the washer to reduce friction and preserve fabric quality.

Aprons

    • Remove any leather components before machine washing.
    • Shake off debris and pre-treat stains with a spot treater.
    • For waxed aprons, wipe clean with mild soap and a soft sponge. Machine wash to remove odor.
    • Tie or secure apron straps (or place in a laundry bag) to prevent tangling.
    • Use a gentle cycle for the first wash to help preserve color.
    • Hang dry or tumble dry on low/cool air.

2. Temperature & Cycle Recommendations

  • Cold is preferred; hot water may cause shrinkage or set stains.
  • Use gentle/delicate cycles, especially for printed or embroidered garments.
  • Always follow the specific instructions on each garment’s care label.

3. Drying Instructions

  • Air dry or line dry when possible to maintain fit and reduce wear.
  • If using a dryer, select low heat only.
  • Remove items promptly to prevent wrinkles.

4. Stain Treatment Tips

  • Pre-treat stains (oil, tomato, coffee, etc.) as soon as possible with mild stain remover or gentle dish soap.
  • For tougher stains, allow garments to soak briefly before washing.
  • Avoid chlorine bleach on colored fabrics to prevent fading or fiber damage.

5. Fabric Protection & Handling

  • Turn garments inside out to protect prints, embroidery, and color depth.
  • Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can weaken fibers and fade fabrics.
  • Skip fabric softeners on workwear, they can leave residue and reduce breathability.

6. Ironing & Finishing

  • Use medium heat when ironing.
  • Do not iron directly over logos or embroidery, turn garments inside out or use a pressing cloth.
  • For heavier fabrics (like denim aprons or pants), use a steam setting for best results.

7. Storage & Longevity Tips

  • Store garments completely dry to prevent mildew or odors.
  • Hang tops and aprons to maintain shape; fold bottoms as needed.
  • Repair loose threads or stitching early to extend the garment’s lifespan.

8. Safety & Sanitation NotesĀ 

  • For garments exposed to heavy food residue, wash soon after use to prevent bacteria buildup.
  • Certain fabrics may allow sanitize-cycle settings; always check the care label first.

Great chef pants

Honest feedback: Like most kitchen employees, I work long hours and needed something durable, comfortable and presentable. The true test of the pants will be the longevity of them. I only recently got these pants but we’ll see how they hold up after months of heavy usage. Overall I enjoy the pants and I will pay the price for high quality but the price seems a little inflated in my honest opinion. You pay for the brand.

I wish the pants had an extra pocket or two. Most chefs/cooks have a pocket knife/notebook/tools that they keep on themselves.

Sizing Chart: I think the size chart runs a little bigger. I got a medium based on the specs but probably could’ve gotten a small.

Finally

I’ve been looking for pants to replace my chefwear pants and Ive finally found them. Out the box the length is perfect for me, roomy enough in the butt/thigh area with a nice little taper. Initially bought 1 pair to try, loved them & bought 3 more pair and today purchased 3 more pair. I think I’m good for a while.

Essential Pants, Explained: Relaxed Fit, Reinforced Knees, Easy Waist

The Essential Chef Pants are built for cooks who want a relaxed, straight-leg silhouette in a lightweight, ankle-length pant that still reads clean on the line. The fit is unisex and designed to give you more room through the leg than TILIT’s slim-fit styles, without going oversized.

The fabric is a PolyCotton Stretch blend (59% Cotton / 37% Polyester / 4% Spandex) with an elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring, plus branded waist ties for a secure, consistent fit when you are moving fast. Reinforced knees are there for day-to-day wear and tear, and the pockets stay streamlined with besom pockets and welted rear pockets. Sizes run XS - 3XL, with inseams from 26 1/2 in (XS - S) up to 30 1/2 in (2XL - 3XL). For more options in this category, start in chef pants, or narrow down by fit in women’s chef pants. These pair easily with button-ups and overshirts from chef workshirts when you want a consistent uniform look.
