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.

| | 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. | | |
