Culinary Brigade Uniform System

Fabric and Construction Across Brigade Tiers

Executive chef coats in a Caveni brigade system use premium cotton or cotton-poly blends at 220 gsm and above. Sous chef and chef de partie coats use mid-weight poly-cotton at 170 to 200 gsm. Commis and junior chef jackets use functional poly-cotton optimized for washability. Each tier can carry its own color, piping, or embroidery scheme to reinforce rank differentiation.

Customization and Branding

Caveni embeds brand identity across the entire brigade system through consistent logo placement, color coding, and embroidery. Hotel properties in Nairobi and Mombasa typically require their crest on all tiers. Restaurant groups across Kenya often use a rank-color system on collar piping or button color to differentiate brigade levels while maintaining a unified brand presentation.
