Chefs Jacket - Cooking in Style

The chef jacket, is made from a double layer of cotton which is designed to insulate the body from the heat of the stove. It also serves as protection against accidental splashes or splatterings of hot liquid. The buttons are typically knotted cloth, in order to withstand the frequent washings and continuous contact (bumping and rubbing) with the pots and pans. The overall style of the chef jacket is double-breasted. This allows the chef to reverse the jacket in order to cover the occassional stain. No customer wants to compliment a chef who looks like he's wearing their entree.

The toque, the traditional chef's hat, has been worn by chefs as far back as the 16th century. It is thought that the toque originated when chefs hid among Orthodox priests (to avoid persecution) and wore the same clothes to better disguise themselves, including their tall hats. Regardless of their origin, in the mid 1800's chef Marie-Antoine Carême thought that the hats should be different sizes, to distinguish the cooks (who now wore shrter hats/caps) from the chefs (who wore the taller toques). Even later, the folded pleats were added, which are meant to symbolize the more than 100 ways in which a chef can cook an egg.
