I'm not a chef nor do I work in the food industry.  What I am is a messy home cook.  I used to wear bib aprons but it never failed that when I was wearing a nice shirt an errant splash of olive oil would end up ruining my clothes.

Then I decided to try wearing a chef's jacket and, low and behold, I stopped finding oily stains on my clothes.  I have two 3/4 sleeve jackets but they were starting to get too warm so I decided to try a light weight short sleeve version.  This fits the bill nicely.  The short sleeves and light fabric help keep me cool.  It fits well and looks sharp.  My only complaint is that the light weight fabric did allow some splashed oil to soak through amazingly fast and end up on my clothes.

All in all, I am generally pleased with this jacket and plan to buy another.
