You may want to do a search on ChefTalk, as this has been discussed in the past... but some folks you may want to check out:

www.ArwayForYou.com is who my students use - very easy to deal with and very inexpensive

Also, if you have cash floating around and don't know how to spend it, you could drop some bucks with www.ChefWear.com - good stuff, mostly, but on the epensive side.

I have used chefwear alot, they are rather expensive though, even with the group rate. I always try to find a local uniform shop to get stuff through. At least for my personal use. For the rest. I always use the laundry service.

Default chef whites

The best way to get chef coats is to work in a restaurant and take your whites home everynight to "wash" them. LOL

The best way I've found to get out the wrinkles is to hang my coat in the Combi-oven for a few minutes with steam, works like a charm.

I've been getting my whites from them for 5 years. The selection might be tight. but the prices and quality are great!

Wantobeachef...Find a local uniform outfitter and try on some different brands. When I was a skinny boy, I liked Univougue, baggy with the tappered legs. I currently wear Chefware stuff 'cause it fits a little better around my fat that I've accumulated over the last seven years. Coats? Again, try soome different ones on. I never buy clothing from a catalog unless I know I've actually tried it on before. The message here...try B-4 you buy. Choose your clothing the way you choose your cutlery (I hope you don't buy knives online or without knowing how they feel, otherwise that statement makes no sense.).

Maybe this is a dumb question, but where can I find chef/kitchen apparel for women? Call me picky, but I really look bad in men's clothing.

Thanks, Oz! I like the raspberry and asparagus.

I noticed the pants were all men's. Do any of you find pants for women or do you just wear the men's? If I had any time to sew, I'd make my own.
