Chef Designs Cook Shirt

A short-sleeve cook shirt that closes on five grippers, which is to say five metal snaps: you pull the front apart in one movement at the end of a shift and press it back together without looking down. The collar is one piece rather than a stand and a collar sewn together, so there is less to fray and less to press, and there is a chest pocket on the left. White or black, S to 5XL.

This is the shirt for dish, prep and anywhere hands are wet all day. One dishwasher who bleaches his at every wash to shift food stains reports no fabric degrading from it. If you want the front to lie flatter under an apron bib, the button-front shirt is the other answer on this shelf.

One of 4 on the cook shirts rail in the Chef Designs line. It also answers to big and tall chef coats and shirts, cook shirts. 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.
