Ever since the early 19th century, chef hats have been used to not only signify the head of the kitchen in royal households, but have been that last touch needed to complete a traditional chef uniform. As centuries have passed, the chef hat fashion trend has moved from chef toque hats to those that allow more self-expression. Our collection of headwear caters to chefs from all environments and is the perfect accessory to top off your personal style.

Chefwear offers a variety of sizes in both paper chef hats and non-woven chef hats. Modeled after the original chef toque, the height of these chef hats can be used to differentiate a chef’s status in the kitchen - the taller the hat, the more experience. The paper chef hats and non-woven version come in three difference sizes: 9 inches, 10 inches, and 11.5 inches. Only available in white, the paper chef hats come in packages of 10 and can withstand up to 10 uses each. This version showcases vertical pleating and allows for easy storage and disposal. The non-woven chef hats feature classic European styling and are meant to last 30-50 uses on average.

Pair the non-woven version with a Regal chef Jacket, Tailored chef pants, and Endurance closed back clogs for a true European look.

The Chefwear toque is a modern version of the traditional chef toque and is available in four different patterns: black, white, black chalk stripe and black chili pepper. It is made of 100-percent cotton fabric, meant to withstand repeated uses and machine washing, and features an adjustable Velcro closure in the back for easy sizing and removal.

This floppy chef hat can be paired with our Premiere Executive Jacket, Traditional chef pants and a pair of our Chefwear Slip-Ons to complete your traditional look.

The Chef Beret has been a mainstay in the Chefwear headwear line. Available in four different patterns, this saucy and stylish chef hat is made of 100-percent cotton fabric and comes with an adjustable Velcro closure in the rear for a perfect fit. Similar to the chef toque, the chef beret was worn originally by chefs in royal households that were of a lower rank than the head chef. Now, these chef hats allow for that added personal touch to a chef uniform.

Chef berets pair well with the Five-Star Traditional chef jacket, Traditional chef pants and Endurance open back clogs.

As years in the culinary industry passed, the chef skull cap came to fruition and is currently our best selling headwear item in the solid black pattern. This chef hat provides a clean, classic look and is made of 100-percent cotton fabric with an elastic band in the back for a secure, snug fit. To complete your chef look, pair your chef skull cap with a Three-Star Cloth Knot chef jacket, Ultimate chef pants and a pair of our Kitchen Clogs. If you prefer a little more ventilation, we offer a Mesh-Top Chef Skull Cap as well as our Wicking Skully, which utilizes moisture-wicking technology, to keep your head cool in the hot kitchen. If you are searching for an Eco-Friendly option, try our Organic Skull Cap, which is made of 100-percent certified organic cotton fabric.

Over the years, fashion-forward chefs began emerging and wanting to flaunt their personal styles. These new wave chefs allowed Chefwear to introduce the Convertible Chefband and Chefwrap. Our Chefwrap comes in five different patterns and is the newest way to keep cool in the kitchen. Its bandana-like design comes with two adjustable ties in the back as well as a terry-elastic band for absorbency and a secure fit. The Chefwear Convertible Chefband can be utilized as a headband or bandana. Also made of 100-percent cotton fabric, this chef accessory showcases an elastic band for a snug fit in each of its 10 patterns.
