Fit & Silhouette
Chef Pants Semiwide is designed to combine the freedom of movement required in professional kitchens with a relaxed silhouette that fits naturally into everyday fashion.
Featuring a semi-wide silhouette with a roomier leg opening than the standard Chef Pants, it delivers exceptional comfort and a balanced sense of volume. The relaxed fit provides ample room around the hips and thighs, allowing for comfortable movement when standing, walking, squatting, and performing other daily activities. An elastic waistband further enhances comfort, helping reduce pressure and maintain an easy fit even during extended wear.

The slightly roomier leg opening creates a more relaxed look while maintaining a clean and balanced overall shape. Although the silhouette offers additional volume, it avoids looking overly baggy and pairs naturally with a wide variety of tops and footwear. Combining the practicality of workwear with versatile styling, it works equally well with casual outfits and streetwear-inspired looks.
It also retains the workwear-inspired functionality that defines Chef Pants, including a utility loop for attaching keys, accessories, and other essentials.

Washing & Shrinkage
Chef Pants Semiwide is available in a variety of fabrics that combine the durability and comfort inspired by traditional workwear. Because each material has its own unique texture and performance characteristics, its appearance after washing and the way it ages over time will vary.
To ensure long-lasting enjoyment of your pants, we recommend following the care instructions provided on each product's care label.
Cotton-Based Fabrics
*Twill, Printed Fabric, Denim, Wabash Denim, Herringbone, Canvas*
These primarily cotton-based fabrics are easy to care for and are widely used throughout the Chef Pants Semiwide collection as core materials.
With repeated washing and wear, the fabric gradually softens and conforms comfortably to the body. Dark-colored fabrics such as Denim and Wabash Denim develop unique fading and character over time, allowing you to enjoy their natural aging process.
Please note that tumble drying or washing at high temperatures may accelerate shrinkage and color fading.
Seasonal & Textured Fabrics
*Corduroy, Tweed*
These fabrics offer distinctive textures and seasonal character.
Because they can be more sensitive to friction and heat, their texture and appearance may change depending on how they are washed and cared for. Fabrics containing wool, in particular, should be maintained according to the care instructions to help prevent shrinkage and distortion.
With proper care, you can enjoy the natural softness and rich texture of these materials for years to come.
About Shrinkage
Depending on the fabric type and washing or drying conditions, slight shrinkage and changes in texture may occur over time.
High-temperature washing and tumble drying can place additional stress on the fabric and may contribute to shrinkage. To preserve the original fit, silhouette, and character of your Chef Pants Semiwide, we recommend following the care instructions provided on the garment label.
