I also love to cook and have worked as a chef in one of the restaurants for many years. I recently purchased a custom apron with leather pockets and straps. This uniform is great to wear. Order products according to the size, optimal length, so that the overalls do not restrict movement. Pay attention to the details: the quality of the ties, seams, the size of the pockets, etc. Products with leather inserts look spectacular. Moreover, these details serve for many years. Medium pockets are an advantage. They have a place for a checkbook, pen, leather notebook.
