Baker's check

Patterns and motifs

Windmill effect
Baker's trousers and chef's aprons would be considerably less recognizable without the classic blue-white check. The weaving method of this cotton fabric is a variation of the panama or flat weave, using blue and white yarns in chain and weft. This creates the characteristic windmill effect. A stylish design that is also very functional. In the kitchen it is inevitable that there is occasionally spilled with flour or dough and stains are camouflaged on this checkered pattern. No wonder the traditional blue baker’s check often pops up in bakeries, bistros and restaurant kitchens for a professional look.
