Despite what some think, there IS a purpose behind the clothing chef's wear. No, its not to play a part in some of the restaurant theatrics. Each part of the Chef's clothing has a specific purpose.
Starting with one of the most recognizable peices of the uniform is the chef's hat. It has been seen dating back to the 16th century! The Chef's original hats were made with 100 pleats, supposedly representing the many ways a chef can prepare an egg. The kitchen staff also wore similar hats, the staff was recognized by the size of their hat, with the Chef's being the tallest.
The Chef's coats are made of very thick material. This is to keep the person wearing the coat safe from the hot temperatures coming from the stove top or oven. The Chef's coats are also made with two, reversible front flaps. This is to help the Chef always have a clean apperance, when one side it stained, simply switch the front and back flap to create a look of freshness.
The Chef's pants, most commonly with small black and white square patterens. This patters masks any minor spills or stains that may occur in the kitchen from leaning against counters or splashing from the stove.
