Mid-service, the line is at full heat and the tickets keep coming. The BASIL2 short sleeve is cut for exactly that. Forearms free, nothing to catch at the cuff, the coat staying with you as the pace climbs.

Mesh panels open the coat where heat gathers, so it runs cool when the kitchen will not. Short sleeves keep the wrists clear of the flame and the plate, a practical line for anyone working close to the heat.

The front fastens out of sight behind a concealed placket, clean from across the room. When the kitchen is open to the dining room, the brigade is part of what the guest sees, and a coat that reads sharp at a distance earns its place.

Available in white, black, and beige, in sizes through 7XL. For cooler kitchens or fuller coverage, see the BASIL2 long sleeve.
