Want to create a custom chef's jacket? Here are the most common mistakes, one by one.
Is the professional kitchen your working space, and are you looking for a custom chef's jacket? Then you've come to the right place!
Burger Print is one of the most well-stocked Italian portals for personalized clothing : choose the item you prefer from the hundreds available and schedule your personalized printing .
Our forte is affordable custom T-shirts , but on our site you'll find a wide range of other clothing items, including work-related ones.
On this blog, we share tips to help you personalize your purchase. But now, back to the personalized chef's jacket: here's what you should keep in mind.
1) Base color of the jacket: what not to do.
It's possible that, working in a professional kitchen, you feel the need to have your own identity within the team and have decided to create your own personalized jacket.
The first thing you need to choose is the base color : many people, caught up in the frenzy of receiving their own personalized jacket, miss a fundamental detail.
There's probably some sort of dress code at the restaurant you work at, and going too far outside the norm might be frowned upon by your colleagues or employers.
We recommend choosing the background color of the jacket to match your kitchen team's uniforms, also to give a sense of greater order.
The print or embroidery you choose will be the icing on the cake to embellish your uniform and perhaps avoid confusing your jacket with someone else's!

2) Color of the print or embroidery: be careful!
Many people, whether in a rush to make an online purchase or simply out of distraction, request printing or embroidery on their low-cost custom t-shirts in a color that won't show up well against the background.
It's very important to think about the contrast between the color of the embroidery, or print, and the bottom of the garment you've chosen, in your case, a personalized chef's jacket.
If you choose a red chef's jacket, it is not recommended to opt for purple embroidery or print, as it would be difficult to see due to the low contrast.
So the general rule is:
- Light background –> Dark print or embroidery
- Dark background —-> Light print or embroidery
If you have any doubts, you can take inspiration from another chef jacket you've seen or look at your own clothing to see the contrast between the screen prints and the color of the garment itself.
3) Screen printing or embroidery? Here's what's better
A doubt that probably assails you is that of choosing between screen printing or embroidery, also by virtue of the price difference between the two options (embroidery costs more).
What we feel like telling you, in your best interest, is that for each item of clothing or fabric there are more suitable choices for the harmony of the final result .
For example, if you choose our (beautiful) Karlowsky 1892 Tennessee denim chef jacket, embroidery is probably recommended, both to match the fabric and to embellish the chosen garment.
If you wanted to opt for a basic black or white background, you could decide to opt for screen printing, but, since this is workwear, embroidery would give a more professional touch to your uniform.
4) The name of the restaurant on your chef's jacket. What if you change restaurants?
We don't want to give you any crazy ideas. We sincerely hope your job enhances you and is the right fit for you. However, many people work seasonally and therefore often change jobs.
Others simply need to make a lot of stops, willingly or unwillingly, before landing in the right place. This is where the problem of a personalized uniform arises.
Chefs usually have their own uniform, and this is rarely provided by the restaurant where they work, which is why we advise against printing or embroidering the name of the restaurant where you currently work.
The reason is the one written a few lines above, that is, that one day you could find yourself working in other locations and your jacket would clash, giving others the feeling of being a "guest" in that kitchen.
So you can save the money on printing, or embroidering, the name of the restaurant you work for and maybe stick with your first and last name or something similar.
