Chef Hats and Neckerchiefs Help Create a Classic Chef Image with Modern Flair
When things get hot in the kitchen, culinary team members want to be cool, stylish and comfortable. Chef hats are perfect for sanitary and protection purposes and they make the entire uniform worn by culinary workers look sharp and well put together. For a polished and trendy look, chef hats range in style from a beanie to trend setting skull caps, to the hat that expresses traditional flair, toque style chef hats.
Toque hats have been popular since the 13th century in France, and in more recent times, they've been primarily used as chef hats. A bit of vintage history and interesting customary traditions accompany toque hats. It was said that the higher the hat was, it meant that the person wearing it had more experience. The number of pleats in the hat signified how many different ways a chef was able to prepare eggs.
Tradition Blends Seamlessly with Flair
While traditional toque hats come in black or white, today's kitchen staff can express extra flair and style with colors like khaki, burgundy, Kelly green, leopard or even Siberian leopard. Durably made with a material blend of 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton, cooks can stay cool and comfortable, and these stylish hats can easily be washed with little worry about shrinking. With a back that's fully adjustable using Velcro technology, toque hats will always fit just right.
A pleated chef beret adds a decidedly European flair to traditional chef and kitchen head wear. This beret is made from 100 percent cotton for extraordinary comfort and versatility. Its refined styling creates a sharp image, while the quality is made to easily withstand all the rigors of every day wear in today's busy kitchens. Berets are available in a dignified hounds-tooth design with a black band, leopard or Siberian leopard. The elastic band means that one size easily fits all.
Two Skull Cap Designs for Style and Versatility
To add a trendy sense of style to traditional chef hats, skull caps are available either in a solid color style, or in an elite style with special accent piping in a contrasting color for even more panache. The skull cap is available in traditional colors like black, khaki, and white, or in designs like black and white hound, leopard, Siberian Leopard, camouflage, or winter camouflage. Skull caps are made of 100 percent cotton for a cool look and feel while being worn. The elastic band means it adjusts to any head size or shape.
The elite skull cap features white with contrast piping. Choose from piping colors like black, khaki, olive or burgundy. You can also choose text or logo embroidery for an extra personalized touch. These skull caps are also 100 percent cotton for extra breath-ability and comfort. Elastic bands mean they hug any size head for a perfect, custom styled fit.
Neckerchiefs in Designer Colors
Neckerchiefs come in burgundy, navy or olive to finish off or to accent the professional chef look perfectly. They're made from 65 percent cotton and 35 percent polyester material for exceptionally easy care. Neckerchiefs can also be embroidered with text, or with a specialty logo of your choice for extra flourish. They coordinate well with aprons, chef coats, pants and shirts in any color or style.
