Wholesale Chef Coats
Wholesale chef coats are a re-order business: kitchens churn staff and coats wear out, so your customers come back little and often. We build wholesale coat ranges around that rhythm — consistent whites, your labels throughout, and a size curve that matches how kitchens buy.
Your customer judges a wholesale chef coat twice: when the carton opens, and again six months later when the re-order has to sit next to the first delivery on the same rail. We manufacture for the second judgement.
What a wholesale chef coat range includes
The coat leads the range — double-breasted and zip-front styles — with the rest of the kitchen list developed alongside as one set, so the white of the coat is the white of the trousers: elastic-waist trousers in check and plain, skull caps and neckerchiefs. Sizes run unisex XS–5XL, with women’s fit jacket blocks available inside the same programme. Fabrics are chosen per garment — polycotton twill where durability leads, poplin where weight matters — and held to one colour standard across the range.
Packed for your warehouse, not ours
The goods arrive ready to sell under your name. Woven labels, care labels, hang tags, polybags and carton marks are all yours, decided at sampling and held on file. We pack to your packing list — by size and style for warehouse picking, per branch when you deliver direct — and the detail of that is covered under labels and packaging. A carton from us should never need opening before it reaches your customer. If you are building an own-label chefwear line from scratch rather than stocking a wholesale range, the private label programme is the fuller route.
Why re-orders decide the factory
Chef coats re-sell because kitchens wear them out. That means your margin depends on re-order consistency: the same cloth, the same white, the same fit, every run. We keep the sealed samples, the lab dips, the size charts and the embroidery files permanently, so a repeat order is measured against the original standard rather than against whatever shipped last. When a trade customer wants logos or names added, the decoration can happen here on the same files, or the range ships blank for your own workshop. The wider re-order model — sealed standards, retained records, planned top-ups — is described under the uniform programme page.
Getting a range quoted
Send the garment list, your target price points and your size curve if you have one. If you are replacing an existing supplier, include a current garment — washed, ideally, since that is the honest state. We come back with a fabric and construction plan, a sample schedule and a quotation.

§ 04Worth Knowing
Where these orders go wrong
The mistakes we see buyers make on this programme — stated early, so they do not surface in production.
Whites that do not match across the range
A white coat and white trousers from different fabric lots launder to different shades. We compare whiteness across lots before cutting and retain a swatch for the next run.
A size curve built for the wrong buyer
Kitchens buy more large trousers than a fashion curve suggests. Share your sales by size and we pack to your real curve, not a generic one.
Embroidery files scattered across suppliers
If your customers' logos live with three decorators, re-orders drift. Decoration done here keeps the file, the thread and the garment under one roof.
§ 05FAQ
Wholesale Chef Coats — questions buyers ask
Frequently asked4 Q
Can we buy blanks and embroider in our own workshop?
Yes. Many distributors take undecorated garments and apply logos locally. We still sew in your labels and pack to your system, and the garment spec stays sealed so the blanks you decorate next season match this season's.
How are re-orders handled when a kitchen customer wants ten more coats?
Small top-ups are cut and sewn against the sealed sample and the retained swatches, so they merge into the stock you already hold. Very small runs carry a cost per piece that volume runs do not; the quotation shows the difference honestly.
What is the minimum for wholesale chef coats?
A wholesale range is quoted as one project rather than per garment, so the minimum depends on the style mix — trousers usually carry the volume while coats set the standard. The exact figure is confirmed in the quotation.
Can cartons be split for delivery to different branches?
Yes. We pack to your packing list — per warehouse, per branch or per end customer — with carton marks and packing lists to match, so goods can cross-dock without being opened and re-sorted.
§ 06Fabrics
Fabrics worth comparing
- Polycotton TwillThe default workwear cloth — a polyester/cotton diagonal weave that balances abrasion resistance, colour retention and easy care.
- PoplinA smooth, fine plain weave for corporate, hospitality and front-of-house shirts where a crisp, clean appearance matters most.
- Cotton DrillA heavy, all-cotton twill for trousers and workwear where comfort and a natural hand matter more than colour retention.
