Built by chefs , for chefs.
After years spent working in professional kitchens, one thing became impossible to ignore: the people dedicated to the highest standards of food were being let down by the clothes they wore everyday.
Longweights was created to change that.
Our chef trousers are designed for those who take pride in their craft - combining modern style, unrestricted movement, lightweight comfort and lasting durability for the realties of long days in the kitchen.
Because chefs deserve workwear that works as hard as they do.
POCKETS POCKETS POCKETS
Every pocket has been obsessively considered.
One of my biggest frustrations in the kitchen was struggling to get my hands into pockets or quickly retrieve the things I needed during service. So every aspect—from the height and placement to the depth, width and angle—has been refined with purpose.
The front hand pockets feature wide, slanted openings for effortless access on the move, while their generous depth keeps your essentials secure throughout service.
The rear pockets are oversized, providing plenty of room without compromising comfort.
And because every second counts in a busy kitchen, dedicated pen pockets sit at hand height—ready for crossing checks, labelling prep or ticking jobs off the list.
STYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY
For too long, chefs have had two choices: uninspiring workwear thats poor quality, looks terrible and feels outdated, or fashion brands that were never designed for the realities of a professional kitchen.
Chefs deserve better.
Since working in some of the best restaurants in Bristol I've met some of the most down to earth incredible people who have such passion and love for what they do and truly care about good food and who they serve it too.
They deserve workwear that reflects that same standard.
Longweights exists to bring modern style, thoughtful design and uncompromising functionality to professional kitchens. Clothing that looks as good as it performs. Workwear that you're proud to wear, whether you're in the kitchen all day or meeting friends before or after shift. Because looking like a professional shouldn't mean sacrificing comfort. And dressing with style shouldn't stop at the kitchen door.
TOWEL LOOP
Not every chef likes wearing an apron. I certainly don't.
I often prep and work service without one, but that usually means losing the convenience of having a towel and pen within easy reach.
That's exactly why these trousers feature a dedicated towel loop and accessible pen pockets. Whether you choose to wear an apron or not, you never have to compromise on functionality.
Because your workwear should adapt to the way you work — not the other way around.
MAGNETIC SNAP BUCKLE
A long shift rarely starts and ends the same.
Whether you've just sat down for staff food, you're lifting heavy prep, bending into low fridges or moving through a busy service, your workwear should move with you—not fight against you.
That's why the Longweights AFDs feature a flexible elasticated waistband, paired with an integrated Fidlock® magnetic buckle and adjustable belt.
The elastic provides all-day comfort without feeling restrictive, while the magnetic buckle fastens securely in seconds and allows for quick, precise adjustments throughout your shift.
No bulky belt. No loose straps. No constantly pulling your trousers back into place.
Just a secure, comfortable fit that adapts to you from prep to close.
