Chef Designs Black Ten Pearl Button Chef Coat

The black version of the ten-button coat, and it is bought for the room rather than for the shift: a splash reads as shadow on black where it reads as a stain on white. Ten pearl buttons, a stand-up collar, cuffs vented and clean-finished, a chest pocket and a thermometer pocket on the left sleeve. The run goes from XS to 5XL, which is wider than most black coats in the trade.

Black holds heat under service lights, so this is a pass and front-of-house coat more often than a flat-top one. It costs a few dollars more than the white coat because a black that stays black through a commercial wash is a more expensive cloth, and a coat that has drifted to charcoal by March is the thing you are paying to avoid.

One of 10 on the chef coats rail in the Chef Designs order sheet. It also answers to chef coats, pearl button chef coats, black chef coats. A size code describes the garment rather than the cook in it, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
