The most consistant part of a chef's attire is the jacket. It is usually a pretty heavy cotton and has a double breast over the front. This helps protect the chef from burns by splattering grease and liquids. Different cooking schools proscribe different uniforms for their students. Often a scarf at the neck, also to protect the skin. Material will be non-flammable and non-meltable fabrics, cotton being most common. Hats are worn partially for hygenic reasons, but also can be a badge of rank, taller hats indicating a higher rank in the kitchen staff.
