At Arrow Uniforms, we take pride in the numbers - and one number we're especially proud of is 50,000. That's how many chef jackets we've produced over the past few years. But this isn't just a statistic; it's a testament to the trust chefs across New Zealand place in us. They rely on our uniforms to keep them looking sharp and feeling comfortable, even in the heat of the kitchen.
From bustling hotel kitchens to neighborhood cafés, fine-dining restaurants to care homes where meals are prepared with love, our chef jackets have been there. Designed to endure the fast-paced, high-pressure world of hospitality, our jackets were originally crafted right here in New Zealand. Every stitch, every button, and every seam was made with care and precision by local hands that understood the demands of the trade.
As demand grew, we extended our production to trusted overseas partners - while maintaining the same exacting specifications that chefs rely on. Whether made here or imported, every jacket meets our high standards.

Why Double-Breasted Chef's Jacket is a Kitchen Essential
The double-breasted chef's jacket is more than just a uniform; it's a thoughtfully designed piece of protective gear that has stood the test of time. Whether you're working in a fine-dining restaurant, a bustling café, or a care home kitchen, this jacket offers practical advantages that every chef can appreciate.
Double Layers, Double Protection
The hallmark of the double-breasted jacket is its two overlapping layers of fabric at the front. This design isn't just about aesthetics - it's a crucial safety feature in the fast-paced, messy world of cooking.
Kitchens are full of hazards; boiling sauces, sizzling pans, and unexpected splashes. The double layer acts as a shield, offering extra protection from burns and spills. And, if you do get a stain on the front? No problem - simply switch sides. By folding the stained layer underneath and exposing the clean one, you can go from chaos to pristine in seconds, ensuring you always look professional, even during the busiest service.
Pop Buttons for Quick Emergencies
Every chef knows that working in a kitchen comes with its fair share of risks, and sometimes you need to act fast. That's where the special "pop" buttons on a chef's jacket come in handy. These heat-resistant buttons are designed to come apart quickly if you need to remove your jacket in an emergency - whether it's to cool down, clean up, or address a sudden hazard. With a swift pull, the jacket can be removed without fumbling, providing an extra layer of safety and convenience.
Stay Cool Under Pressure
Comfort is key in a kitchen, where temperatures can rise quickly. That's why chef's jackets are designed with a looser fit, allowing air to circulate beneath the fabric. This isn't just about comfort; it's about performance. Just as loose, light-coloured clothing helps people in desert climates stay cool, the breathable, white fabric of a chef's jacket reflects heat and keeps chefs comfortable during long hours in a sweltering kitchen.
The double-breasted chef's jacket is a testament to timeless, functional design. It's protective, professional, and practical - everything a hardworking chef needs to thrive in the kitchen. Next time you put yours on, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and tradition behind the culinary classic.
If 50,000 chefs can't be wrong, maybe it's time you joined them. Explore our range of chefs jackets today - because you deserve a uniform that works as hard as you do!
