FAQs

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from a durable blend of 50% Cotton and 50% Polyester, with a fabric weight of 200gsm.

How does the StayCool technology work?

StayCool technology is integrated into the fabric, typically at the center back, to enhance airflow and ventilation, helping to regulate body temperature.

Can this jacket be washed in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it is suitable for both industrial and domestic washing at a maximum temperature of 65°C.

What is the purpose of the apron holder tab?

The apron holder tab is a functional feature designed to keep your apron securely in place, preventing it from slipping down during work.

Is this jacket available in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the white variant, similar Le Chef jackets are available in other colors such as black.

What are the advantages of the concealed placket?

The concealed placket provides a clean, professional, and uncluttered appearance, and the press studs offer a secure and quick fastening method.

How should I care for the jacket to maintain its features?

Wash at 65°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low and iron on medium heat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less breathable over time.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede ventilation. Wash at the recommended temperature of 65°C.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Check for any fabric obstruction around the press studs. Ensure they are properly aligned before fastening. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Pre-treat stains before washing. Use a mild detergent suitable for colored fabrics. For stubborn stains, a spot treatment may be necessary before washing at 65°C.

Seams are fraying after multiple washes.

Ensure the garment is washed on a gentle cycle if your machine has this option. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying. Inspect for any snags or tears that may have occurred during use.
