Engineered for Performance

The Le Chef StayCool™ Prep Jacket is a forward-thinking garment designed for the modern, environmentally conscious kitchen. Utilizing a 200gsm fabric blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton, this jacket delivers exceptional durability while supporting sustainable procurement goals. The standout technical feature is the extensive black StayCool™ panel running down the centre back. This high-performance mesh zone provides maximum ventilation where it is needed most, allowing heat to escape rapidly and keeping the wearer dry during strenuous shifts. The jacket is engineered for industrial laundering at 65°C, ensuring that grease, food stains, and bacteria are effectively removed without degrading the fabric's quality. Additionally, the inclusion of an innovative apron holder tab system prevents the apron neck strap from riding up and causing irritation, solving a common ergonomic complaint. This attention to detail makes it a superior choice for businesses looking to equip their staff with Trousers and jackets that perform under pressure.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for the active chef, the Prep Jacket prioritises freedom of movement and practical utility. The concealed placket with stud fastening creates a streamlined, snag-free front profile that is safe for use around machinery and open flames, while also allowing for quick removal in the event of a spill. Storage is ample and well-considered, featuring a left chest pocket for notebooks and a dedicated pen pocket on the left sleeve, ensuring essential tools are always at hand. The unisex cut is generous enough to allow for layering without restricting arm movement, crucial for whisking, chopping, and reaching. By integrating the StayCool™ back panel, the jacket actively mitigates the fatigue associated with heat stress, helping staff maintain peak performance levels throughout their shift. The combination of recycled materials, smart cooling features, and functional pockets makes this an indispensable asset for any professional kitchen team.
