TILIT chef coats are designed by working chefs, not scaled down from an old uniform block. The Supply Chef Coat runs light in stretch poly pique for cooks who move fast. The Tailored and Long Sleeved coats use stretch twill with mesh side panels for a sharper, closer cut. The Hospitality Chore Coat and Men's Recycled Chef Coat round out the range.

Chef Coats Top Picks
Moisture-wicking poly pique knit and a snap front mean fast on, fast off, and it moves through a full shift without fighting you.
Full sleeves cover your forearms when you're reaching over flat tops or pulling sheet pans, without the bulk of a heavier coat.
Calima cotton canvas and snap closures make it the layer you throw on for a walk-in check or a dining room transition.
Stretch side panels and a split back let you reach and plate through service while the front stays sharp and fitted.

Sizing & Care
Sizing runs consistently across the range: the Supply Chef Coat for Women, Long Sleeved Women's Chef Coat, Long Sleeved Men's Chef Coat, Hospitality Chore Coat, Men's Recycled Chef Coat, and Women's Tailored Chef Coat all span XS through 4XL, while the Long Sleeve Supply Chef Coat for Men tops out at 3XL. The Men's Recycled Chef Coat is the one exception worth flagging: its hemp/cotton blend body runs a size smaller than our other men's coats, so size up if you're between sizes. Every coat ships with a care label sewn in, and a few call for specific handling — the Men's Recycled Chef Coat holds its shape best with a cold wash and hang dry, while the rest launder like standard kitchen workwear when you follow the label. Before you order for a full crew, run sizes against the size chart rather than guessing off a street-clothes size, since a snap-front kitchen coat fits differently than a button-down. If you're building a uniform program across multiple roles, our care instructions page covers wash and dry specifics by fabric, and the wholesale and team ordering page can help with sizing runs, reorders, and consistency across a roster. Pair any of these coats with a shirt from our chef work shirts collection for warmer stations or a more relaxed front-of-house look, or layer the Hospitality Chore Coat over either for a walk-in check without changing out of uniform.
More about chef coats
Every kitchen works differently, and your chef coat should match the station you work, not just the size on the label. That's why this range is built around real tradeoffs, not just colorways.
Want a lighter knit that's easy to launder? The Supply Chef Coat for Women and the Long Sleeve Supply Chef Coat for Men run in a stretch poly pique knit built for faster turnover. Want a sharper, more tailored look? The Women's Tailored Chef Coat and its men's counterpart are cut from stretch twill with mesh side panels and a chambray inner collar, the kind of coat that holds a line on the pass and still reads clean out front. The Men's Recycled Chef Coat swaps in a hemp/cotton blend body with the same stretch mesh underarm panel, though it runs a size smaller than our other men's coats, so size up if you're between sizes. For a layer that isn't a coat at all, the Hospitality Chore Coat in Calima cotton canvas covers walk-in checks and front-of-house transitions without looking like you're still on the line.
Every style keeps the details that hold up over a real shift: snap-front or metal-button closures built for fast in-and-out, hip and arm pockets sized for a pen or thermometer, and a rear neck tab where an apron strap sits. Compare fit, fabric, and sleeve length in the table below to find the coat built for your station.
