Chef Apparel in the Hartford, Ct Area
For the person seeking chef apparel in the Hartford, Ct area, there are not a lot of retail outlets nearby. Because many restaurants and institutions now rent chef apparel from commercial laundries, fewer retailers stock and sell chef apparel in the Hartford, Ct area. The ubiquitous black and white checkered pants that are worn by many cooks and chefs are actually known as ‘houndstooth’ pants. No longer are the houndstooth or black pants the only design of chef pants available. In recent years, several chef apparel companies have been producing loud, colorful and outrageous designs of chef pants. Some of these designs include swimming fish, fruits and vegetables and other food items, set against a black background.
