|  |   Try a restaurant supply store.  They're apt to be lower priced than in
a gourmet kitchen store.

|  |    In many restaurants, the higher the chef's toque, the higher their
   rank in the kitchen.  You have to earn the tallest ones from schools
   like Escoffier, Culinary Institute of America, etc.  My son got his 
   lower ones from a uniform store when he was in training.

|  |     During my current quest to purchase a few pieces of Calaphon commercial
    aluminum cookware, I happened to cross some chef hats which seem to
    have the shape of mushrooms. They were at United Resturant Equipment in
    Lowell. If my memory serves me correctly they were less than 5.00 each.
    
    They also have quite the assortment all types of commercial equipment
    from knives, stainless serving utensils, tongs, hotel pans, aprons,
    commercial aluminum (some coated with the super supra stuff) some
    stainless large stock pots ($$$), cleaning agents, grill weights and
    scrubbers, ad nasum... 
    
    Prices seem to be fair, or less expensive than the local Lechmere
    or Sears or whatever.
    
    No Calaphon, though...

|  |     For Christmas, my boyfriend received from his brother a chef's hat
    and an apron that looks like a tuxedo shirt and cumberbund (you
    wear it over a white dress shirt).  It was purchased at Bradlees
    and came together as a set.  We thought it was cute and he says
    he can't wait for the summer time barbeques so he can wear it. :-)
