There are several reasons why you should wear a chef coat, also known as a chef jacket. The chef jacket has evolved over several centuries to be highly functional, durable and comfortable. It is this combination of characteristics that makes it the uniform of choice for professional chefs around the world, not to mention the fact that it looks really cool.
Functionality - The main function of the Chef Coat is to protect the chef from both the heat of the stove and/or oven, and also from any accidental spills or splashes of hot liquid. It accomplishes this by virtue of its double layer cotton construction. In addition to providing an effective thermal barrier, the Chef Jacket also protects the chef's clothing from the usual stains associated with preparing food.

You might wonder why persons with such a tendency to get their uniform stained and splattered would wear white. You can thank Chef Marie-Antoine Careme who, in the mid 1800s, decided that white was the most appropriate color for his cooks, since it symbolized cleanliness.
The double breasted style of the Chef Coat, also came into favor at this time (also due to Careme). Since jackets main function is to protect the chef, it is expected to become stained during a busy day of cooking. However, if it is necessary for the chef to leave the kitchen (to interact with guests) the chef can reverse the jacket to cover any stains.
Durability- The double layer cotton construction also makes the Chef Jacket highly durable. Not only is it able to withstand the constant bumps and bangs of pots and pans, but it also stands up to the frequent washings. Not only is the jacket itself highly durable, but the buttons are also constructed of knotted cloth, making them just as durable.
Comfort - One might think that wearing a double breasted jacket in a hot kitchen is not the smartest thing to do. But again, it is the double layer cotton construction demonstrates its versatility. Cotton is a very breathable and comfortable fabric, which makes it a superior choice in hot environments.
The Chef Coat is not only highly functional, but it is also durable and comfortable, making it a natural choice for professional and amateur chefs alike.
