A decade ago, we were two hard-working chefs who looked like they spent more time under the hood of a car, than in the kitchen. Clad in drab, uncomfortable and shapeless uniforms we didn’t just look bad, we felt it. For an industry focused on presentation, it seemed chef apparel had missed the mark. That’s when we realized, we’re cut from a different cloth.
We don’t serve bland. So why should we wear it.
Tired of the standard fare, we set out to create a line of culinary apparel we actually wanted to wear— durable, high-quality gear with a streetwear aesthetic. Pieces that made us look good and feel good, whether we were in the kitchen, on the floor or at home. It was 2008 and a new look was taking shape. Medium Rare Chef Apparel was born.
And the industry noticed. Today, our gear is worn in kitchens, behind the bar, serving food and hosting guests. We’ve outfitted Iron Chefs, Top Chefs, Wall of Chefs and home chefs. You can find us in chain and family-owned restaurants, in storefronts and online. Hell, we’re even in gardens and soap factories. Wherever hard-working industry folks are, you’ll find us.
We don’t believe uniforms come with uniformity. Break free and let your creative juices flow.

Who said acid wash was dead? Bringing sexy back one apron at a time in this new soft and supple 9 oz acid wash denim.
This sophisticated show piece pays homage to the creator of acid wash, and so named the Edwin.
You don't have to be an ornithologist (or even know what that means) to rock the new Terranova Apron. Show your softer side with this classic bib displaying some beautiful contrasting pocket artwork on indigo denim. Get your hands on this limited edition beauty before it sells out!
A throwback to the early 1700’s work horse, this soft and supple burgundy canvas hugs you like a tightly rolled pig in a blanket.
Streetastic inspired cotton/poly fabric blend (96%/4%) provides durability with 5% stretch ‘cause you like to ‘move it, move it’
The new cross-back strap configuration wraps the apron to your body just like the Hoff's hairy chest carpet - you'll hardly know its there, but damn does it make you look good.
Whether you're a fan of the garden, spring time, or grandma's high tea - this apron is your one stop shop. Show your true colors...
Today’s bartenders are part of the show and our top-quality, water repellent Old Fashioned bib-style apron recognizes that fact. We put a towel ring right up front for easy access and added features like a functional lap pocket down low and a hidden chest pocket up top. Crossback straps make sure there’s no air drag to slow things down.
Keep it classy with out breaking the bank in this premium canvas show piece. For those who don't want to be loud but still rock it proud.
Henry is a perennial favorite and for good reason. We engineered this durable apron to last and then dressed it up with features like buttery-soft leather straps and antique brass hardware and grommets.
This economical poly/cotton chef apron may be low in price but it’s high on style and quality. Features include an adjustable neck strap and a lap pocket with an interior pocket to stash your valuables. It’s such a hit we’ve had a hard time keeping it in stock since we introduced it a few months back.
Got a beefy face? If your a victim of relentless name calling then dress that mug up with this corduroy brimmed snapback and tell all those school yard bullies to go kick rocks.
