Service Works: From kitchen dreams to streetwear revolution

Service Works was founded in the UK in 2020 based on a simple but ingenious idea: to design comfortable pants with elastic waistbands that look good not only in the kitchen but also on the street. Service Works founder Tom Chaundley grew up in a family-run restaurant business. Early on, he learned the values of dedication, craftsmanship, and passion. His first jobs took him to the kitchen, where he became familiar with every step of the process, from cleaning vegetables to preparing and cooking. But even after his shift, he didn’t take off his comfortable chef’s pants; he wore them to skate or meet up with friends. It was precisely this experience that gave rise to Service Works: a brand that combines function, comfort, and street style.

When workwear meets subculture…

Service Works stands for authentic clothing that combines the best of workwear and streetwear. The brand is inspired by the sturdy workwear of professional kitchens, but adapts it for everyday wear and the street. The philosophy behind Service Works is simple yet unique: clothing should not only be functional, but also tell a story. Every pair of pants, every shirt, and every jacket reflects the brand’s origins—the connection between hard work, community, and enjoyment.
The Service Works classic collection stays true to the brand’s roots. It has all the features of traditional chef’s pants, but is made from heavier, carefully selected fabrics. Service Works attaches great importance to quality, comfort, and durability. The elastic waistband ensures maximum freedom of movement, whether cooking, working, or skating.

Sustainability meets function

Sustainability is a central part of the Service Works philosophy. The brand uses only organic and recycled fabrics to minimize its environmental impact. All products are manufactured in close collaboration with experienced production partners in India. Service Works treats these partner companies with great respect and fairness, ensuring not only quality but also social responsibility. By supporting small manufacturers, Service Works helps to promote local talent and preserve craftsmanship.

Trade pants: For professionals and everyday heroes

In addition to its classic styles, Service Works also offers Trade pants, which were developed specifically for the restaurant industry and professional use. They retain the classic Service Works fit but are made from lighter, recycled cotton fabric that is perfect for kitchen use. These pants are not only functional but also stylish, so they can easily be worn from the workplace to the street.

Service Works and the art of simplicity

What makes Service Works special is the honesty of the brand. It’s not about exaggerated trends or short-lived hypes, but about attention to detail, high-quality fabric, and an authentic lifestyle. Every piece of clothing from Service Works is made to be worn and lived in. It’s about comfort, everyday practicality, and style, but also about community, passion, and joie de vivre.

A brand with attitude and heart

Today, Service Works has become one of the most exciting young brands in the field of modern workwear. From London to Tokyo, from the kitchen to the halfpipe, Service Works appeals to people who value quality, functionality, and authenticity. With each collection, the brand remains true to its origins: the desire to create fashion that inspires and connects.

Service Works is much more than a workwear label. It is a tribute to real life, honest work, creativity, and passion. Whether in the kitchen, on a skateboard, or in everyday life, Service Works delivers clothing that can do it all and always looks good. A brand that proves that comfort, craftsmanship, and style are not opposites, but a way of life.
