Austrian Army Chefs Pants

Austrian Army Kitchen Wear

These are chefs pants issued by the Austrian Army to the cooks who fed its troops. They are cut in the small black-and-white check that has been the standard pattern for kitchen trousers for generations. Professional cooks wear them on the line, and surplus collectors and reenactors look for them to complete an authentic Austrian service kitchen uniform.

Features

• Black And White Check — The fine check pattern is the traditional choice for kitchen trousers because small splashes and spots show less than they would on plain white.
• Cotton-Polyester Blend — Cotton keeps the fabric breathable in a hot kitchen, and polyester adds strength and helps the pants hold up to repeated washing.
• Pleated Front — Pleats at the front give extra room through the hips and thighs for bending, lifting and long shifts on your feet.
• Button Waistband — A single button closes the waistband at the front.
• Belt Loops — Loops around the waistband take a standard belt if you want a more secure fit.
• Straight Leg Cut — The legs run straight to the hem, a simple and practical cut that sits clear of the shoe.
• Genuine Austrian Army Issue — These pants were made for and issued by the Austrian Army, not produced for the civilian fashion market.

Issued Kitchen Uniform

Military kitchens run on the same demands as commercial ones: long hours, heat and constant laundering. That is why the Austrian Army specified a cotton and polyester blend and a plain, functional cut for its cooks. For anyone building out an Austrian service collection, they fill a gap that combat clothing leaves open. For working chefs, they are a hard-wearing pair of check pants with real military provenance.
