A very functional, reasonably priced addition to the kitchen.
By nature, I am not a huge "pink" person, but that was the only color available in a small, and the price was unbelievable. The cut is quite generous, however it fits as it should: a bit loose, a little long in the sleeves, and perfect for the kitchen. The sleeves can pinned or hemmed, but in the case of protecting your hands and arms while cooking, better to have the fabric to pin back than to have a jacket with too short of sleeves. It breathes well, protects your skin, and is a very reasonable buy. Being made of linen; it is going wave and wrinkle a bit in the washer and dryer. The only true downside, though, that I see in the design of this jacket is that there is only one pocket. It would be nice to have a thermometer pocket on the side of one of the sleeves. Other than that; I love it. I may not be a "pink" person, but for the price and quality of the product...I could wear a hot pink one covered in hearts and rainbows and not bat an eye.
Linen Chef Jacket
This chef coat is very, very large (I ordered a med.) if you are a ladies size 16 or larger this may fit you -- but the coat has no shaping whatsoever -- so you will look like a big marshmallow (mine is white) -- also, where the collar meets at the neck has a very large space -- which is not traditional and looks very odd. The fabric quality is OK, which for the price is not so great. Perhaps this was cut for men, but the buttons and fabric would make it too girly. This coat design needs to be amended and shaped and the overlap (where the buttons cross over) needs to be re-thought as the fabric hangs down and bunches under the coat -- so the bottom hem is not 'clean' -- it needs a button underneeth or something to stop that from happening.
Nice Conversation Piece
I don't cook but I wear this chef jacket to work. I work at a middle school and I have told the children several times that I failed Home Economics. Wearing this jacket is irony and the children get it. On a completely different note, the jacket is comfortable and the color is vibrant. It also fits well.
