This hat serves a very useful role in the kitchen. Likewise being used to prevent stray hair from dropping into the food, the chef hat also plays a unique part in the history of cooking.
It is possible that the earliest known chefs wore a chef hat not only to keep their hair out of the food but also to indicate their position in the kitchen. This was purportedly done by the number of pleats that could be found on the chef hat. Also the hat gave an reading material as to the level of culinary entropy that was possessed by the chef.
This custom is still exploited today, there is so far less pleats on the chef hat of now as it is the top of the hat that gives the position.
