Use them in a food kitchen in GA during the summer. They are very cooling and the elastic waistband is wide and very comfortable. I use them as travel pants as they are easy to hand wash and dry quickly. They take almost no room in suit case. Read more

I purchased a pair of these chef pants in April 2021. It's currently July of 2022. I work 6-7 days a week as a cook. These pants are just flat out amazing. They have held up for over a year of almost daily use and daily washing, color is still solid after a year (only a few minor bleach stains from work). Only within the last month have I noticed some holes forming in the side pockets. I plan on taking them to a tailor and having them mended, but I'm also gonna buy another pair as a backup. They are beyond comfortable. Extremely cool in hot weather/kitchen and relatively warm in cool to cold weather, very breathable and slightly baggy but looks great. I originally bought a pair of XL, but they were way too big. The large fits just right, I'm 6'0, 185lbs. I could possibly even go with Medium, but I think the Large is just fine. If you are a cook or chef or work in the service industry, just do yourself a favor and buy a pair of these. You won't regret it, worth every penny. Read more

Comfy and breathable. Maybe order a size down, theyre a bit baggy but Im gonna keep em bc they're drawstrings. Overall tho, i LOVE them. Pockets are huge, and the little ventilation slits work wonderfully if you have fans around your kitchen. The stretch on them is good both around the waist and also near knees if you bend alot. Good value for the price Read more

This is my second pair of these pants. What with varicose veins and surgery scars, my 81 year old legs are so gnarly looking that I don't like to wear shorts in public, even in hot weather, even around the house. These vented Chef Works pants are a perfect substitute! They are very comfortable - light weight, nice and roomy - have deep pockets, and launder up nicely (very quick to dry). Full elastic waistband plus drawstring ensures a good fit (size "M" is snug but not too tight on my 34" waist). Best feature, tho, is how well the venting system keeps air circulating around my legs, almost as if I was wearing shorts. It's easy to see why kitchen workers like them! The inseam comes in only one length ("real long"), and I don't like having to pay another $20 to have them shortened. And, on the first pair I bought (which are still going strong) there was some sloppy inside stitching that started to come unraveled early on that I had to secure with fabric glue. This pair was perfect, no sewing issues whatsoever. For me, these make for cool, comfortable, long wearing knockabout pants. I highly recommend. Read more

These pants are Amazing, they repel water and stains, they are comfortable and light, they breath better than any other chef pants EVER I have tried in 20 years of being a Chef. That includes other topline Chefwear pants. They are not overly formal dress style that lacks functionality and certainly not that sloppy baggy look wear pockets are hanging and swinging as you move quickly on the line. So many cheaper options online turn out to be defectively shaped and awkward like someone made cheap pants out of an old potato sack cloth, ( except they are not as durable as a old potato sack. ). I had to write to say that I work doubles and during the break I practice tennis for exercise. I actually have played a match during the break in these pants on a sunny day and felt as good as I do in shorts. Imagine, outside in Black Chef Pants on a Sunny day winning a 2 set tennis match? The pants cool and clean except for a little clay dust at ankles that quickly wiped off, Unbelievable, right? Chefwear, I would love another pair or 2 and hope you never discontinue this style and design, sincerely Blackbeltkitchen Read more
