Default Chef Garb and what do you wear .

So what do you wear for clothes at work . Right now I wear the traditional check pants with a chefs jacket and a company logo ball cap . Of course an apron ! For special functions and catering I have 2 nice chef coats with cloth buttons and I wear a paper chefs hat .
Being the manager I recieve all kinds of free mail from companies trying to sell chef ware . The models look great wearing this stuff and some of the chef jackets look realy cool . When I eat out I see some of the cooks dressed in this new attire ! I took a second job a few years ago and I was given a pair of the stretchy chili pepper pants to wear . It felt different because it was and I also thought I looked like a clown in these pants .
So what do you wear at work ? Thanks , Doug..........

Black and White .Black chefwear pants, white coat, French apron. 100% cotton is my preference for jackets-style doesn't matter.
And i avoid the coffee filter unless absolutely necessary.

my personal favs are veggie pants and a denham coat....I have bistro aprons with with my logo on the pocket, I wear mushroom baseball cap or a market baseball cap....I have a white coat in the closet with black piping and once upon a size I did have black and white check....but I'm way more comfortable in my work clothes and since I don't run a brigade it works for me....my staff outfits are hugely more conservative!!!bennies of being boss.

used to be: t-shirts, jeans, apron and do-rags. and the occasional white jacket and funky, tight, black/white check stretch pants. heavy duty work boots. always need good support on the feet.

Hey shroomgirl , that nice chefs jacket will fit you again soon! Just eat and rest a little more so you can fill it out again . I am now thinking of ordering online clothes for the first time and I like the Bragard site that cape chef posted . They look useable and real to me so what the heck! I cant be cheap all my life ! I will post how I like them . Doug............................

I wear the chili pepper and wild pants! They are extremely comfortable!
Like wearing pajamas to work. It's usually quite hot in the kitchen, and I figure you might as well be comfortable. I also wear five star traditional chefwear jackets, 100% cotton, ball cap and clogs.

I show up in chinos and usually wear a button-up shirt with our logo. Sometimes levis and a company t-shirt. Last time I wore a chefs' coat? For a Halloween costume, 2 years ago!
When I am in the kitchen I throw on a 4-way apron and look like the obvious fish-out-of-water manager guy.
