Chef pants live a hard life: heat, spills, constant bending and standing, and washing after almost every shift. The thing most kitchens notice first is black fading to gray after a few months of hot, frequent laundering. These pants are specified around that problem: a fabric and dye system chosen for repeated commercial washing, in cuts built for long shifts on your feet.

Care and Keeping Black Black
Frequent hot washing and bleach are the main causes of fading in black kitchen workwear.
Wash at the recommended temperature and avoid overloading the machine
Oxygen-based bleach is gentler on dyed fabric. Chlorine bleach can accelerate fading on cotton-containing fabrics
Avoid fabric softener, which can reduce wicking and coat the fibers
Tumble dry at moderate temperature
Applications
Restaurants, hotel kitchens, bakeries, catering, food trucks, and culinary schools.

FAQ
Will the black fade after repeated hot washing? Black fading comes from the dye system and the laundering conditions. Ask us for the colorfastness result at your wash temperature and cycle count, and follow the care guidance above. Chlorine bleach and very hot, frequent washes are the main causes of fading.
How much do these shrink? ≤3% after 50 cycles of industrial washing at 75°C. Ask for the test report for your fabric before ordering.
Are they suitable near open flame? They aren’t flame-resistant. See the note above, and ask us about cotton-rich options if your kitchen uses open flame.
What’s the minimum order and can you add our logo? MOQ is 300 pcs per style and color. Logo embroidery is available, and we’ll confirm placement and cost per order.
Can you match our uniform color? Yes, with swatch or Pantone approval before bulk production.
