Chef apparel -- chef coats and aprons -- are an integral part of the linen supply mix. In addition, linen supply companies also offer small, wiping towels to restaurants. Review each of the products below.

Aprons
A linen supply company can offer bib aprons in a variety of colors and styles. Consider uniforming your servers in aprons to create a unique look for your restaurant. Chef aprons add style to restaurants with kitchens open to the dining area. This trend is spreading as diners enjoy seeing what's going on in the kitchen.

Chef Coats
Chef coats come in long and short sizes. Short coats are preferred by chefs who conduct demonstrations or menu preparation in the dining room. Today, many culinary professionals are on display, and today's ultimate status symbol is a chef who comes out to greet diners.

Small Towels
Nothing beats a cloth towel for absorbency and cost. Though single-use manufacturers will tout their product is cheaper, cloth towels last longer and are more absorbent. Reusing towels also helps the environment.
