CWS Paris Line: Koksbroek Dames

Zwart / Wit

Description

These comfortable, loose-fitting women's chef's trousers with the classic pepita pattern are ideal for sometimes long days of work in the kitchen; they do not restrict or hinder. The pepita pattern is perhaps the most characteristic style feature of a truly classic pair of chef's trousers. The fabric pattern was very popular in the mid-19th century, which was when craftsmen and servants first started wearing chef's clothes in the kitchen. The name pepita pattern probably goes back to the Spanish dancer Josefa de la Oliva, who was also called Pepita de la Oliva (in English: olive pit). During her performances, the dancer liked to wear black and white tulle skirts on top of each other, which achieved a similar optical effect to the check fabric.

 

The chef's trousers are made of robust, easy-care and breathable cotton, which ensures that chefs sweat as little as possible in them. The elasticated waistband increases comfort and eliminates the need for a belt, which would restrict the cook's movement. Daily laundry care is essential; therefore, these chef's trousers, which have been tried and tested for many years, are designed for professional industrial washing according to hygiene standards and have an extra durable finish.
