Chef jacket Stalgast 634052

A long-sleeve chefs jacket is the standard protective garment in professional kitchens, shielding the wearer from splashes, spills and radiant heat while maintaining a crisp, hygienic appearance. The jacket's double-breasted front overlaps to form a barrier that can be reversed if one side becomes soiled, extending its usable shift. Long sleeves cover the arms to the wrist, protecting against hot liquids and sharp edges without restricting movement.

To wear the jacket, the chef buttons the left side over the right, aligning the two rows of buttons so the overlap is even. The collar stands upright to shield the neck from splashes, and the cuffs fasten snugly at the wrist to prevent sleeves from catching on equipment. Throughout service the jacket absorbs minor spills and can be wiped clean; when heavily soiled it is removed and laundered at high temperature to restore its bright white finish.

Constructed from a mid-weight poly-cotton blend, the fabric balances durability with comfort. The white colour reflects heat and makes stains immediately visible, prompting prompt laundering to maintain hygiene standards. Stalgast's long-sleeve chefs jacket is cut to a traditional fit that accommodates layering over a T-shirt or thermal base layer without binding across the shoulders or chest.

The jacket fastens with a row of buttons down each front panel, allowing the wearer to adjust the overlap for comfort or to reverse the jacket when one side is marked. No additional closures or pockets are present, keeping the garment streamlined for fast movement in a busy kitchen.

White chefs jackets are the uniform standard in professional catering, signalling cleanliness and professionalism to diners and inspectors alike. The Stalgast long-sleeve jacket in Balta white is sized to fit over standard chefs trousers and aprons, completing the classic kitchen ensemble.
