The chef’s job has traditionally been a well-respected and well-paid job for many years. Chefs of high-ranking individuals like the members of the royal family and aristocrats had relied on chefs to make sure the food has been adequately cooked and prepared and were not poisoned.
The chef uniform has been an enduring symbol of quality and class for hundreds of years. Worn by trained professionals from all around the world, the uniform is an industry standard so ubiquitous that ordinary people can recognise it at first glance. Since then, many restaurant owners, chefs, and other people in the food and drink industry have hardly deviated from the classic ensemble.
Parts of a chef’s uniform
The traditional chef’s workwear is comprised of a white jacket, checkered pants, and of course, the famous white hat called the toque blanche. All of these items are essential to the work of a chef and also helps to presents a “clean image” to outsiders.
Customising the chef’s uniform
Since the chef’s uniform is so recognisable, there is little need to deviate from the traditional workwear. But you still need uniforms to distinguish you or your chefs from everyone else. Uniform suppliers are still able to provide some sort of customisation to help you stand out. Here are some ideas.
- Company logo. One of the best ways to customise is by adding a logo somewhere to the clothing. Adding a small logo onto the jacket is the least intrusive method for customising.
- Adding a little bit of colour. With white as the base colour, it wouldn’t hurt adding a touch of colour somewhere on the chef’s outerwear.
- Embroidery or ribbon options. Adding the name or logo by embroidery is a popular option, and very cheap and easy to do as well.
