soda jerk uniform

[hemb]

I have a customer who is opening a coffee and soda fountain that looks like it came right out of the 50's. They want a white soda jerk jacket, does anyone know where I can get them. Thanks

Most of your restaurant uniform companies will have the jackets-used for 'catering' or professional 'chef' jackets. Probably as close as you will get to the real thing.
You might have to check with a regular 'restaurant supply house' and buy them there to embroider if you can't find a supplier with a small minimum.

Dickies and Red Kap both carry restaurant uniforms...not sure about the 50's style though. Try their websites and see if anything strikes you. I saw an ad for Alpha who is going to start carring Dickies (if they already haven't.)

Don't know about the jackets, but www.wolfmarkties.com carries the caps. They call them "fountain" caps. They have plain white, and white with red piping.

www.bowlingshirt.com has some cool retro stuff like 50's letter jackets, glasses, poodle skirts and accessories. Not the jackets you would like but how about the Retro bowling shirts. They might be a nice substitute.
