Disposable Chef Hats
Initially, chef hats were made of stiff starched cloth that was pleated as per tradition. These tended to become limp and worn as time passes due to the frequent washes they are subjected to. Also, it was a long and tiring process to ensure that the pleats were all in place and the hat is stiff enough so as not to sag on the chef's head. Starch was a necessary ingredient to keep the hat up and smart looking.
An excellent alternative to all the process of washing, starching and ironing the chef's hat came up in the recent years.
This was to use paper hats instead of cloth hats. Paper hats that are fiber constructed and so are stiff and formal looking; they can be replaced every few days as the hats start to sag or become dirty due to sweat and splatters that occur every so often in the kitchens.
Also, the paper hats are cost-effective as compared to the cloth variety. Disposable varieties are the in-thing with today's chefs. They are easy to use and zero maintenance, and the chef gets to wear a new one every few days.
Manufacturers are making sure the paper hats are delivered in proper packages at a nominal cost and keeping up with the present trend regarding the sizes and the shapes. Even the pleats are being provided in the hats and since it is of paper, the pleats hardly tend to get crushed or wrinkled.
All the disposable varieties are provided with sweatbands to ensure longer wear. Most of these paper chef hats are worn with a hairnet underneath that keeps the hair locked in place thus serving the original purpose of wearing a hat while cooking.
Available in the market are the French, Spanish, Italian, German and European, as well as other kids of chef hats made with non-woven material, in other words with a thick durable paper.
They are robust and are long wearing. Since a sweatband would be provided they do not tear due to sweat or heat and can be used for many shifts. Some hats can be worn for as many as 5 days as a stretch.
Disposable ones can also be made on order with the hotel's logo. Personalized hats for gatherings and barbecues make excellent giveaway gifts.
A company's logo would also add a personal touch if the hotel or restaurant is a popular chain. It would also act as an excellent advertising gimmick and can be as effective as a t-shirt or such.
Disposable hats are available in the requisite sizes and heights and can be ordered online with the minimum hassles. They would be delivered at the earliest and would not involve in the customer spending a lot of time shopping around for the perfect chef's hat..
Whimsical Children’s Hat Line To Debut
Alexandria, VA (ContentDesk) May 12, 2006 -- Christi Smethurst, a stay-at-home Mom, needed hats for her young son and daughter.
After fruitless attempts searching local childrens boutiques and online retailers, Christi took matters into her own hands and turned to her sewing machine. I was frustrated with the lack of cute hats on the market.
There were plenty of ways to keep their heads warm, but nothing that said fun; functional; fashionable.
I wanted to find a winter hat with a little bit of style and a little bit of whimsy. Out of this frustration, Lexy Lu Designs was born, a company specializing in handmade fleece hats with colorful grosgrain ribbon tops.
The hats come in many different styles, pairing colors such as:
hot pink and lime green, pink and brown, blue and brown and the traditional toiles.
There is something for everyone, including boys.
My son saw the hot pink hat I made for my daughter and wanted one...
