About Chef Works
Founded by the Gross family in 1964, Chef Works began as a workwear manufacturer and grew into the global leader in culinary and hospitality apparel. Still family-owned and operated, the brand is widely credited with revolutionising the modern chef jacket and today outfits chefs, baristas, waiters and hotel staff across the world. Every garment reflects a simple belief — that hospitality professionals shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and function. That blend of heritage, durability and design makes Chef Works a trusted choice for venues that want their team to look as professional as the food they serve.
The Chef Works Range
Chef Works offers a complete hospitality uniform program, including:
- Chef jackets — executive, short-sleeve, lightweight and women’s styles, including Cool Vent designs engineered for breathability in hot kitchens.
- Aprons — bib, cross-back, waist, denim and waterproof options that take embroidery beautifully.
- Chef pants — baggy, slim-fit, cargo and lightweight cuts built for long shifts.
- Chef & café shirts — kitchen, chambray and front-of-house styles for a coordinated team look.
- Chef hats & headwear — beanies, caps, neckerchiefs and the classic Le Toque.
Many styles feature Chef Works’ signature fabric technologies — Cool Vent ventilation and Flex stretch construction — for comfort and mobility throughout service.
Chef Works Sustainability & Ethical Production
Sustainability is central to the Chef Works approach, guided by the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle. The brand’s RE: range is crafted from a blend of cotton and REPREVE® — a recycled performance polyester made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and carrying U Trust™ certification — while orders ship in poly bags and satchels made from 100% recycled materials. In Australia, Chef Works has joined Textile Recycling Australia’s uniform recycling program, giving the hospitality industry a responsible end-of-life pathway for old uniforms. Supply Crew is proud to offer Chef Works as part of our eco-friendly product range, recognising the brand’s commitment to durable, responsibly made apparel.
