Can I have my logo embroidered on my Chef Jacket? Yes, we do offer logo embroidery. Your logo will need to be digitized into .dst file format. These files are specific to the embroidery machine and tell the machine which thread color to pull and where to place the stitches to represent your logo. You can email us your logo in any graphic format (.jpg, .pdf, .tiff, .bmp, .png). We have an excellent in-house artist that will convert your logo into a digitized design, her charge is $50. Within 72 hours, she will email you a picture of your embroidered logo for review and approval prior to embroidering the merchandise. You are not limited as to the number of colors; we will match your logo colors to the vast thread selection that we have on-hand. Please allow 1-2 weeks for orders with custom logo embroidery.

Will my Chef Jacket or Pants shrink? Our preferred fabric is a Poly/Cotton blend, and you will find most of our chef jackets and pants manufactured in this type of fabric. We like it because it tends to be more stain resistant, durable, color fast and easier maintenance than 100% cotton. But most importantly, it will not shrink. We do offer some Chef Jackets and Pants in 100% cotton, as it is very cool and breathable. Please allow for 2% shrinkage in garments manufactured in this fabric. Because of the weave, these items will tend to shrink mostly in length rather than width.


Can I have the Chef Jacket or Pants specifically tailored to my size? Unfortunately, we do not have a tailor at our location able to take your measurement and customize the merchandise for you. You may want to check in with your local Dry Cleaners/Laundry Service, they typically offer clothing altering.
