Sizing & Care
Sizing on this page runs on two systems. The Essential Chef Pant and Chef Joggers use alpha sizing, XS through 3XL and XS through 4XL, with inseam length built out per size so a 5'2" cook and a 6'2" cook both get a proportional fit instead of one universal length. The Flex Chef Pant and Sunday Cotton Canvas Chef Pant use waist sizing instead, 26 through 44 and 28 through 42, with the Flex holding a true 33 inch inseam across every size on the range. The Women's Chef Pant is cut on its own pattern rather than scaled down from a men's block, so the rise and hip follow an actual figure through a full shift. If you're between sizes on any of these, check the size chart before you order rather than guessing. Care is straightforward and mostly shared across the line: wash cold with similar colors, fasten any zippers, buttons, or closures before the load runs, and tumble dry low. The Chef Jogger has one extra rule, skip the fabric softener, since it works against the stretch blend's breathability over time. Full instructions live on our care page, and if you're outfitting a whole kitchen or front-of-house team at once, our wholesale and team ordering page walks through how to standardize a chef pant across sizes and roles.
More about chef pants
Every kitchen asks something different of a pant. The Essential Chef Pant and Chef Joggers cover the elastic-waist, unisex end of the range: the Essential runs straight-leg and a little roomier through the leg, built with reinforced knees for the kneeling and case-lifting that comes with the job, while the Chef Jogger swaps that for a 90% Polyester / 10% Spandex blend and rib-knit ankle cuffs for a cook who's squatting and reaching all shift.
Structured fits
Want a pant that holds a line instead of an elastic waist? The Flex Chef Pant runs a true 33" inseam across sizes 26-44 with a jean-style button and zipper fly, and the Sunday Cotton Canvas Chef Pant trades stretch for 100% cotton canvas that breaks in over repeated washes instead of breaking down. The "Harvest" Sunday Pants take that same straight-leg, elastic-waist approach but in a heavier stonewashed herringbone cotton, with a towel loop and key loop built in for kitchen-to-street wear.
The Women's Chef Pant is cut on its own pattern, not scaled down from a men's block, in a Black Salerno Stretch Twill with six pockets and an adjustable elastic back waistband. Every style here shares the same idea: pockets placed for actual use, waistbands built to move, and construction that holds up wash after wash.
