Make sure the only thing boiling in the kitchen is the water.
When you work your tail off, you sweat. It can get annoying, uncomfortable, and that’s before you realize your shift just started. We made the Vertex Short Sleeve Lightweight Chef Coat with incredible fabric so you stay dry, and keeps sweat away, and enjoy classic style. All from the first appetizer to the very last entrée
Moisture-Wicking Performance Microfiber
Innovative apparel technology is useless if the clothes feel like an itchy sweater. This soft fabric breathes, pulling sweat off your body. It also helps you stay dry, keeping moisture off your body in the places you need it most.
Two-Section Sleeve Pocket
Keep your finest tools right by your side. This pocket is perfect for holding onto your pens, thermometers, and more.
Wrinkle & Soil Resistant
This coat holds its form even as you reach for pans, bend for pots or pull it out of the dryer. And if you spill sauce or oil on you (which obviously never happens), the stain is easier to remove.

I never knew a chef coat could make me feel this professional and *this* comfortable at the same time! The **Happy Chef Men's Vertex Short Sleeve Lightweight Chef Coat** is a game changer. It's lightweight, breathable, and makes me feel like I’m ready to take on a Michelin-star kitchen—or at least impress the family with my home-cooked meals.The short sleeves are a blessing, especially when the kitchen heats up (and let’s be real, it always does). No more rolling up my sleeves or feeling like I’m about to pass out over the stove. The fit is perfect, and the material somehow stays cool even when I’m trying to flip burgers like a pro on the grill.The best part? I look like I know what I’m doing even when I’m just tossing together spaghetti. It's durable, easy to clean, and still sharp after countless washes. If you’re a chef—or just someone who plays one in their kitchen—this is the coat for you. Cooking has never looked (or felt) this good! 🍳👨🍳

All I can say is what others tell me:"You look professional" and "I just can't get over how you look in that coat"(and feel good too!)I'm a fairly average sized guy (5'9 and some fractions, 165 pounds, 40.5 inch chest) and the medium fits me better than most other jackets I've worn. This is a comfortable and lightweight jacket. The upper venting keeps your body heat off of you, yet I sometimes think this jacket should have underarm venting as well. The jacket itself keeps most, but not all, cooking heat away. All-in-all it is just as comfortable with temperatures as traditional thicker, heavier non-vented jackets.It's flexible and doesn't weigh you down, a huge plus personally. I've yet to see the durability of this item - only owned it for a few weeks now. I think the buttons and some stitching could be a weak point, and it's definitely not meant to get greasy. This jacket seems to handle small splashes (not that you make a mess, right Chef?) with ease, can clean up with just a wet towel, and handles machine wash easily.In summary,4 out of 5 starsA solid buy. You look great, feel better, stay cool, can move comfortably, and it only maybe possible might need underarm venting to be perfect.

Nice light weight, durable, very comfortable. It does run a bit big but not really an issue.

Great look, very comfortable but has a very wide fit in the arms and chest/stomach area. Very boxy fit, not really true to size. If you're lean or an athletic type build, you might be swimming in this shirt. I ordered a small (as I usually order S & M shirts & coats) and this fits very big on me. If I order another, which I probably will, then I'll need to order an extra small. I never have to buy extra small shirts. So I was very thrown off by this. I bought it for a catering gig the following day of receiving it. So it puts a damper on that cause it doesn't look so professional when it doesn't fit properly. Bummer

Size: I’m 5’9” - average build, kind of skinny (but you CAN trust me!) I weigh 157 lb. and the medium cost is a perfect fit. I’ve worn large Chef coats in the past and they sometimes were a bit big. I’ve recently lost about 15 lb. and the medium still leaves me with some room to move.Quality: Happy Chef makes good stuff. I was a HS Culinary Arts teacher for 13 years and we had old Happy Chef coats hanging out years after they’d been left by graduating students.BTW: The grey/black coat looks really sharp.FEEL: Very lightweight w/o feeling cheap. The sleeve cuffs dried very quickly after sweat soaked them. The coat dries quickly after getting damp. (DISH PIT)I honestly felt fairly cool after 5 hours busting suds in a busy dish pit (the disgruntled dishwasher quit by 5 pm!)Stains: We will see. I’ve got a couple oil stains from the first wear... we’ll know how well this coat jettisons stains after I dry the now washing coat.***stay tuned!***So... the oil stains stayed put. :(Trying a pre-soak with a stain fighter spray overnight.*Pro Tip: Using OxyClean & hot water + OVERNIGHT soaking has removed even the most persistent stains over the years.I’ll try that technique too and let ya know.BUT - this coat ain’t a magical garment that mysteriously repels all stains. “It’s cool but not magical.” That’s okay. My review of 5-Stars stands.UPDATE: Definitely not stain proof. The oil stains held tight, even after a nightlong soak. Oh well.I did get a second one, since the coat is cool feeling when I wear it.

I work in a high volume environment, and as with most kitchens, it's hot. This jacket not only looks sharp, it is like wearing nothing. It is light, roomy, and helps to keep me cool. I usually don't wear a short-sleeved chef jacket but thought I would give it a try. The jacket fit perfectly right out of the package. I just washed it and it's still looking very good. I'll update this if anything changes in regards to quality, stitching, and buttons not staying on but for now, I highly recommend this jacket if you want to look good and stay cool.

I like the fit and the look. I'm pleased for the most part. I'm leaving 4 out of 5 because I lost a button the first time I cleaned it.
