Five Star Chef Apparel 18025 Unisex Short Sleeve Chef Coat

I really love these chef coats! I originally bought one as a "test fit" about a year and a half ago, liked it and got 5 more (I work six days a week).I have been wearing them constantly working in the kitchen for that year and a half and they have all held up fantastically well! Still look good and no wear and tear issues. Just washed in regular load with regular detergent and they come clean very well. The charcoal grey color is very good at "hiding" the grease spots and food spatters that are inevitable when working hands on for 12+ hours a day with food.

Fit- Usually I'm a Large or XL size shirt, but most XL shirts are too large for me. This chef coat in a Medium size fits me perfectly and might fit just a little bit bigger guy than me. If you're on the large side of XL, then go for the Large size coat. For a 6'1" guy at 220 lbs, the coat isn't too long and fits me well. I wish the smaller of the two pen pockets was just a little bit wider. With that said, the pockets are deep enough to hold a thermometer perfectly and I like that. Many companies offer pen pockets that are too short and the thermometer sticks out of your arm pocket.Finish - Decent breathable fabric that's not stiff at all. Ordered the grey color, and it's a decent darker grey that looks pretty decent. Buttons are well built and easy to put on as well. Overall pretty well built.

I love this chef coat, however I should have returned it. I ordered a size down and it was two sizes too large still. I had already torn the tags off this one to return it, however, I ordered a purple on and have returned it and reordered a smaller size. These coats are very attractive, they just run large. Note - I am a female, so maybe for men they might only run 1 size larger than normal.

I am a professional chef. This is exactly what I've needed for summer and hot work areas. The material is thin and breathes well. I bought the dark granite color as a trial jacket and now plan to buy more. As with most chef coats in the industry that are not fitted, these production coats run large by one size. The medium fits (perfect "large" for all intents) better than I had anticipated. The coat length was not the typically sloppy draped length well past the hips. For the decent price and good fit, I definetly recommend this product.

The fit was perfect the material is perfect for summer. Great color. The reason this is a one star is because the front of the product has a cut (flaw) on the right side of the breast. I have no real option to contact the seller. I purchased this for my partner who was doing an important catering event and needed it. He didn't notice the flaw until wearing the day of so we couldn't return nor did he save the paperwork to return. I think the seller should send another shirt. Anyway, it wasn't the perfect foot forward for the chef to be wearing flawed/cut coat to a new catering client event. Seller should not sell flawed items without providing a disclaimer

It took us a VERY long time to get this, but when we finally did my son liked it very well. I would order again if they could deliver any sooner. 3 weeks was a long time for a domestic shipping IMO. Otherwise, great fit, high quality.Contacted the seller when there was a delay in our getting this and they emailed me right back and said they would check on where it could be. Very helpful.

I don't like the classic white chef coats and the black is just too "cool" if you know what I mean. This dark gray looks really nice. It doesn't show every spot of tomato sauce that may get on it. It's classy and professional. Thin material so it doesn't get too hot but not so thin it makes you uncomfortable. Not see through at all of course.

I was buying chef shirts to fit me and these were too big. I still wear them but I look like a child playing chef.I bought two other shirts from a different company and they fit perfectly.So if I did order these again I would get a small and not a medium. And I did consider the size chart with both companies. These shirts are a baggy fit.
