Solvang Brewing Company (Chef Memo)

Chef Memo runs the kitchen at Solvang Brewing Company's Lompoc location, and he's been a steady supporter of local business — including ours. So when we got the chance to stitch his uniform, we wanted it done right.

Kitchen gear lives a hard life: heat, steam, and wash cycle after wash cycle. Embroidery is the right call for a uniform like this because thread survives what printed marks don't — it's the same reason we recommend stitched polos for the fryer line.

A chef's coat also carries a kind of authority. A clean, well-placed stitch-out on the chest reads as professional to everyone who sees it, from the pass to the dining room. We placed and proofed the embroidery before running the final piece.

Being trusted by the people who feed Lompoc means something to us. Thanks, Chef, for always supporting local — the feeling is mutual.

If you run a kitchen, a brewery, or a tasting room on the Central Coast and your uniforms deserve better, come by. We'll stitch a proof first, and it'll survive the wash.
