Hey all It's time to buy some work shirts again. Current kitchen regularly gets up to 104 during service so breathable is definitely nice. Not going to be layered under a chef jacket. What do you wear to work? Lemme know!

Artic Cool for Fla kitchens. I like the pocket T work shirt.

Don't miss out! Today's the last day to save!

I have a bunch of dry fit shirts from Walmart for work. They cost under 10 bucks a piece and do a WAY better job than cotton shirts.

Just keep in mind that most of the synthethics are no bueno in circumstances of fire. But you'll have to make your own decision whether you think that's a problem or not.
If you don't mind that, cheap running shirts that are full with lots of little holes are great for high heat.
