Chef Coats, Chef Jackets, Chef Uniforms, Hotel & Restaurant Uniforms
Chef Coats, Chef Jackets, Chef Uniforms, Hotel
and Restaurant Uniforms
Crooked Brook is not a uniform company; it
is a label used by the atelier division of our art studio.
We make garments that can be worn as
uniforms.
Our greatest
asset (other than our apparel design studio in New York City, the fashion and
gastronomic capital of the world) is our international brand name recognition
as the maker of the "World's Highest Quality Chef Jackets" ™.

Chef Uniforms, Chef Coats, Chef
Jackets
.JPG) To
some people, chef coats are chef coats. If it's white, double
breasted with ten or 12 buttons, and a military (Nehru, or mandarin)
collar, it's a chef coat. They couldn’t care less about the
construction, fabric, fit, or style. Their only concern is price.
If price is your only concern, there are many culinary apparel manufacturers
that mass-produce cheap chef coats who will gladly sell them to you, and that is
exactly what you will get.
Since 1989 we have designed and manufactured uniforms for the world’s most
distinguished and discerning chefs. They understand that price is a determinant
of quality, and the relevance of price, quality, and value. They know
appearances count and a well-dressed chef will convey the image of a
professional who cares about details and presentation.
Chefwear®,
Cayson Culinary Designs, Happy Chef® Uniforms (all of which are good companies)
are just some of the many business enterprises that sell chef uniforms. However,
none of them offer all of the following features that when combined, are the
attributes that increase the attractiveness and value of our products:
All of our garments are made to order by master tailors and their assistants in
the U.S.A. With our in house pattern making, logo digitizing and embroidery,
over 450 embroidery thread colors, 55 piping colors, large variety of styles,
dozens of fabrics (including Supima® and Certified 100% Organic Cotton Twill in
24 colors), and an extensive line of buttons to choose from, you can personalize
your chef jackets in ways you never imagined.
We have no desire to produce the most, only the best. The making of fine chef
uniforms calls for time, care, costly materials, and painstaking inspection. The
results are chef jackets that are truly works-of-art. Simply put, these are the
highest quality chef coats on earth.
Women's Chef Uniforms, Women's
Chef Coats, Women's Chef Jackets
Our
women's chef jackets have become the uniform for the most recognized women in
the art and noble science of gastronomy. In the late 80's - early 90's women
began to choose cooking as a profession in unprecedented numbers, but women's
chef wear was a sad state of affairs.
How could a female chef wear chef coats tailored for a man and convey a
professional image?
Aware of the need for
fashionable, feminine, well made and custom women's chef wear, we developed
styles and patterns to flatter the characteristics of the female figure.
Knowing that very few women's
body measurements correlate with the garment specifications of a given size, we
offer women's chef jackets in what we call combination sizes. For example, if a
woman's body measurements were 39-31-41 according to our size chart she would be
our size 14. However, if her measurements were 39-33-43, she could order a 14
top, 16 bottom women's chef coat.
By using combination sizes maternity chef jackets can be made, and the most
popular style for this is CBW106 because of the adjustable tie sides.
Egyptian Cotton Chef Coats,
Chef Jackets
.JPG) For years, chefs have been led to believe
that Egyptian cotton is the premium fiber for chefs jackets; nothing could be
further from the truth. With cotton, as with any agricultural product, there
are many species, each with its own characteristics. These individual
characteristics make some species more suitable for certain purposes than others
(think of the many varieties of apples, rice, mushrooms, or potatoes and their
differences). The growing region, soil, climate, skill of the grower, when and
how it is harvested and processed, among other things, all have an effect on the
results.
"Egyptian cotton chef coats" is about as
descriptive as " Indian Ocean fish fillets". It sounds exotic but, "Egyptian
cotton chef coats" only tells you that they are made from some type of cotton,
that came from somewhere in Egypt. It gives you no information about the
variety of cotton, grade or staple length (short, medium, long or extra long),
weave (twill? poplin? corduroy?), or the actual percentage of Egyptian cotton. Even if all of this information were available, what is the guarantee that you
are really getting Egyptian cotton, if Egyptian cotton is one of your criteria
for buying chef jackets?
Regarding our position on this
subject, Bragard® (known for
Egyptian cotton chef coats), has stated on their website "Well, they're on the
right track! They're absolutely right; just because it was grown in
Egypt doesn't necessarily make it any better."
In the final analysis, all cotton grown in
Egypt is Egyptian cotton, regardless of the variety, staple length, or quality.

Made and Made-to-order Aprons
You can customize any of our
aprons to your specifications, whether it's adding length, width, long
ties, short ties, etc.
We have taken the time to create
bib apron patterns made specifically for women. Like our women's chef
jackets, our women's waist and bib aprons come in a full range of sizes.
All of our aprons can be
personalized with embroidery, tackle twill or appliqué.

Embroidery, Custom
Embroidery & Custom Logo Embroidery
 In
addition to your uniform, your logo is one of many visual
elements that is part of your
identity.
Not only
will we design and manufacture your custom uniforms, but
you can also have your logo embroidered on them.
Send
us the artwork for your
logo and we will give you a free estimate of the cost to digitize it,
and the cost each time it is embroidered.
Once we have a digital embroidery file of your
logo, it can embroidered on
polo shirts,
sweatshirts,
hoodies,
fleece blankets,
fleece pullovers,
caps,
hats,
t-shirts, scarves, jackets, denim, baby bibs, tote bags, or just about any other wearable or
promotional product that can be embroidered.
Not
everything we do, have done, or are capable of doing is shown on our web
site. If you don't see what you are looking for, or have an idea, please call
us to discuss details
and we will try to design a garment or uniform tailored to your needs.
