What to know about Service Works
Service Works is a South London label founded in 2020 by Tom Chudley, who grew up in a family-run hospitality business and wore chef trousers while skating. Under a "Designed for Chefs, adapted for all" motto, it reworks kitchen and restaurant uniforms into everyday wear: elasticated-waist chef pants, 11oz organic cotton canvas chore shirts and jackets, shorts, tees, knitwear, caps and aprons. Production runs through partner factories in India, and a trade line still supplies working kitchens. Chore shirts sit near $120, with stockists including END., Slam City Skates and Urban Industry.
