2209 - Baker's Shirt Short Sleeve
The Portwest 2209 Baker’s Shirt gives bakery and catering teams a simple short sleeve uniform top. Its open collar and pullover shape create an uncomplicated garment for staff working at preparation benches, packing areas and kitchen service stations.
The 190gsm Kingsmill polycotton fabric combines polyester with cotton in a durable twill. Portwest specifies good colour retention, making the shirt a practical choice for regular workwear use. The short sleeve format is useful when the uniform calls for a shirt rather than a longer food coat or chef jacket.
Astral lists the shirt in White, with sizes from XS to 3XL. Choose a fit that allows comfortable movement through the shoulders and arms, particularly for staff who reach across benches or move between work stations during their shift.
Pair the 2209 with Baker’s Trousers or suitable chef trousers for a coordinated uniform. The shirt can be machine washed at 60°C, helping teams plan a regular laundry routine. Follow the garment label for all care settings and keep a clean change available when required during service.
