TILIT was "born out of UTILITY": co-founder Alex McCrery, a working chef for almost 18 years, felt his uniform didn't represent the pride his profession deserved, and he and Jenny Goodman, who met working at Commander's Palace in New Orleans, opened the brand's doors on November 2, 2012. The family-run hospitality workwear brand makes chef coats, chef pants, aprons, work shirts and jumpsuits, plus custom uniforms for restaurant and hotel teams.
