What is a Chef Coat?

A chef coat is a fundamental part of a chef's uniform, designed to withstand the heat, spills, and rigorous demands of a culinary environment while maintaining a professional look. Le Nouveau Chef is proud to offer high quality European produced chef coats that combine style and functionality in timeless designs. Ensuring chefs can perform at their best while looking their best.

In What Colours Are Chef Jackets Available?

The traditional chef coat is white, reflecting a commitment to cleanliness and professional standards. Modern kitchens and personal preferences have expanded the colour palette, allowing chefs to express their personal style. At Le Nouveau Chef, we offer chef coats in various colours, including classic white, sleek black, and other contemporary shades like blue or green, so every chef can find their perfect match. Our carefully selected colour palette is created so everything can be combined easily.

From What Fabric Is the Chef Jacket Made?

The fabric of a chef coat is crucial for comfort and performance. Le Nouveau Chef uses high-quality materials such as cotton, Tencel, recycled polyester, and lyocell. These fabrics are chosen for their breathability, durability, easy care taking and ability to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen. Our chef coats are designed to keep chefs cool and comfortable, even during the most intense shifts.

Why Is It Called a Chef Jacket?

The term "chef coat" reflects the coats’ role as an essential part of a chef's uniform, designed specifically for the culinary profession. Unlike regular coats, chef coats are tailored with unique features such as double-breasted fronts, which provide extra protection against spills and heat. They are made from fabrics that offer durability and comfort in the kitchen. At Le Nouveau Chef, we honour this tradition by crafting chef coats that embody the professionalism and dedication of chefs around the world.
