Short-sleeved poplin chef jacket: the lightest in the catalogue
At 112 g/m² it is the thinnest chef jacket in Velilla's entire kitchen range: almost half the weight of a 190 twill. It is the entry-level option and the one you will appreciate in front of the griddle in August.
✅ Features
Double-breasted fastening: the classic kitchen system; if one side gets stained, you cross it over to the other and the jacket is presentable again.
Piping on the collar: a contrasting trim that frames the neckline.
No side seams: fewer points of friction and tearing at the sides.
Chest patch pocket: for a notebook or order pad.
Short sleeves: less fabric near the heat and water.
👷 Suitable for
Restaurant, bar and café kitchens
The pass, griddle and scullery in the hot season

🧺 Care

💡 Tip: mind the weight: 112 g/m² offers very little protection against a splash of oil or a burst of steam. For a hot pass, fryer or grill, go for the 190 g/m² twill (405222 or 405224). This 405201 shines in the scullery, plating and cold kitchen.
