For almost half a decade, Helt Studio has set out on a mission to support and celebrate our culinary frontline heroes. Our mission to empower the culinary community through producing functional, high-quality, and trendy kitchen apparel has helped culinary workers feel their best and look good doing it. However, improving the landscape for restaurant workers is so much more than creating the right gear — we want to go even further. 

Helt Studio’s chef blog continues that mission by letting you hear directly from expert contributors in the industry. Hospitality is one of the most complex and labor-intensive businesses in the country. Through providing helpful resources and stories, we hope to help chefs and restaurateurs tackle many of the challenges they often face in the field.

What Makes the Helt Studio Apron Different from the Rest?

What Makes the Helt Studio Apron Different from the Rest?

What makes Helt Studio aprons a cut above? It starts with the stuff they're made of. We offer a range of materials, including Japanese canvas, American Selvedge denim, in-house engineered Crewtech, American duck canvas, and DWR (Durable water-repellent) Canvas. Each apron's 100% cotton strap provides all-day comfort.

Welcome to Helt Studio's Uniform Revolution - Are You Ready?

Welcome to Helt Studio's Uniform Revolution - Are You Ready?

We are Helt Studio. We are a kitchen uniform company, but we got our start in the restaurant industry. Why does that matter?

In a word: experience. We know what it is like, firsthand, to slip into that chef jacket for the first time and it just feels right. We also know what it's like to encounter a spill and wish you had a water repellent apron, a water resistant apron, or a quick dry apron. We know that your uniform matters - it defines your business, your mission, and your workplace culture.

Why you need a Hipster Chef Coat?

Why you need a Hipster Chef Coat?

Why You Need a Hipster Coat if Your Kitchen Is as Hot as Hell
"If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."

That quote is attributed to former U.S. President Harry S. Truman. However, if you've made a career of braving the kitchen's heat, don't get out of it - simply get a chef coat that can take the heat.
