Service Works

Service Works is a British brand bringing the functionality of kitchen clothing into everyday wardrobes. Founded in 2020, it grew out of a personal connection to hospitality: its founder grew up in a family business, worked in kitchens from a young age and wore chef trousers outside work and while skateboarding. That experience inspired a simple, recognisable idea: clothing designed for chefs but adapted for everyone.

At the heart of the brand are its Chef Pants. They retain professional trouser features such as elasticated drawstring waists, large front pockets and a relaxed silhouette for ease of movement, but use heavier fabrics and finishes designed for everyday wear. Comfortable and durable, they pair with T-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts or jackets, in urban settings or during a working day.

ECRU’s Service Works selection includes Easy Chef and Classic Chef trousers and seersucker versions, alongside shorts, overshirts, work jackets, short-sleeved shirts, T-shirts and caps. The collection combines neutral utility colours such as navy, olive, stone, grey and black with more expressive shades and some prints. This makes it easy to build coordinated outfits or introduce a single piece into a simpler wardrobe.

The trousers and shorts stand out for straight or relaxed cuts and flexible waistbands that adapt to different ways of wearing them. Overshirts and work jackets continue the brand’s functional language with large pockets, simple construction and fabrics designed to gain character through use. T-shirts and caps complete the range with graphics connected to food, community and hospitality culture.

Service Works uses carefully selected fabrics across much of its range, including organic cotton, canvas and seersucker. Its main collection reinterprets chef clothing in more robust materials, while the professional line retains lightweight construction suited to kitchen work. This combination of authenticity, comfort and design explains its appeal to hospitality professionals as well as workwear and streetwear enthusiasts.
