Chef jacket designed to resist stains and withstand the demands of a busy kitchen shift. The Portwest Chefs Jacket combines practical detailing with durable fabric to help catering staff stay confident and presentable. Will the reversible fit and easy-care fabrics suit every kitchen role?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Wearing Comfort: Short sleeves allow free arm movement and a unisex cut suits a wide range of body shapes
  • Best for: Catering professionals and busy kitchen teams needing easy-care, professional uniforms
  • Not ideal for: Those requiring insulated or long-sleeved thermal garments for cold environments

Kingsmill polycotton with a Texpel stain resistant finish delivers durable, hard wearing performance. The jacket keeps shape after washing thanks to non-shrinking, twill fabric with excellent dye retention.


Keep stains on the surface – thanks to Texpel stain resistant finish

Texpel is a fabric finish that causes spills to bead on the outer surface rather than soaking into fibres, making soils easier to remove. The treatment works with the polycotton blend to reduce permanent staining.

Spills can be wiped away more readily, reducing time spent on stain removal and keeping uniforms looking cleaner between washes.

Flexible closure for left- or right-handed use – with a reversible double-breasted front

Five rows of poppers allow the front to be fastened on either side and the poppers are removable or replaceable for maintenance. A concealed double-breasted fastening presents a neat front while changing the overlap direction.

Wearers can choose the most comfortable opening direction and conceal marks on one side by switching the closure, extending usable wear during a shift.

Long-lasting shape and colour – thanks to hard wearing twill and non-shrinking construction

The Kingsmill polycotton twill is engineered for durability and excellent dye retention, while fabric treatments prevent shrinkage through repeated wash cycles. The weave and fibre mix resist abrasion in high-use environments.

Uniforms keep a consistent fit and colour after many washes, reducing the need for frequent replacement and maintaining a professional appearance.
