I am trying to find a mint green chef's coat. I can find neon green and hunter green but haven't had much luck finding mint green. Do any of you guys know of a company that specializes in odd colored chef coats?

This company does them but they are pretty pricey.

Could you buy a white one and then dye it? I know I've used the RIT dyes in the past to change the color of something. (It's a bit of a pain, though, so maybe you wouldn't want to try it.)

Don't have time to deal with that, and I am not sure they make a mint green either

I was unwilling to spend a lot for a chef's coat so I bought an inexpensive white one and dyed it purple. I used Rit. I came out better than I thought it would and didn't take long at all. The only thing that bugged me was that I had nothing else (at the time) to dye and a lot of it went to waste.

You can control the colors a bit by how long you soak the item/garment and they have a nice assortment of colors. I purchased mine (the dye) at Michael's. Check; they might have the shade you're looking for.

This one has Hunter green (scroll down the page) for $50 bucks:

Do you know a seamstress who could sew you one? Good luck. icon_smile.gif

Thanks for the help, Snarkybaker, but that isn't mint green it is a teal color icon_sad.gif Even the expensive link doesn't actually have mint green anymore. So will probably have to settle for white coat with mint green embroidery. Darn.

My coats are made by Crooked Brook, and they will send you out swatches of all of the colors they have that are close to what you want ( some aren't shown on the website) I get the others for my assistants and they are nice quality especially for $20.
