The most typical and popular material for chef coats. It is possible to make a very comfortable material by using a blend while still producing an inexpensive coat. A 65: 35 ratio of poly to cotton is probably seen most often, that is specially designed to be soil resistant and easily cleaned but other blends such as 80: 20, can be found as well.

High end chef coats are generally made out of 100% cotton. The reason is obvious: organic cotton is the most comfortable material. Of course, there are different types of cotton, and for a chef looking for the best in comfort, the materials of choice would be 100% Egyptian cotton. This type of cotton differs from other cotton because it has the longest fibers. This produces a much smoother, more luxurious weave.
