Carpenter jeans, cargo pants, chef coats and canvas aprons, judged on cotton weight, stitching, pocket layout and the sizes cut for bigger frames.
8.3score
Three cross-back cotton canvas aprons from AFUN. The 16 oz chef apron is the proven one, the 12 oz is lighter and cheaper, and the tool apron adds pockets.
8.0score
Two double-breasted 65/35 chef coats that buyers rate 4.6 and say run large, two inexpensive aprons, and a cook shirt whose bottom button sits too high.
7.6score
A flat-front 65/35 poly-cotton twill pant with side elastic and four pockets; buyers like the price and the wash, and argue about the white.
7.6score
A snap-front cook shirt, a full-elastic drawstring chef pant that buyers find long, a 4.6-star neckerchief and a small-sample skull cap.
7.6score
Full Blue's carpenter canvas pants are the buy here; its cargo shorts come with thin listings, hand-wash labels and, on one, a Walmart record of torn crotches.
7.5score
A vintage-style high-rise jean with buttoned flap pockets on the front, 1.5% stretch and 4.6 stars, but only 32 ratings and no inseam or rise on the listing.
7.3score
Full Blue's stretch cargo pant is comfortable and cheap but has shallow pockets; the rest of this group runs on small samples and listings that contradict their photos.
7.1score
A relaxed straight-leg cotton cargo with eight pockets and a partly elastic waist; buyers like the look and the price, and argue about thickness, length and seams.
