===Jackets===
Each Iron Chef wears a specially designed [[chef's uniform|chef's jacket]], a simplified version of the more stylized attire worn by the Japanese Iron Chefs, along with an apron and trousers of their choice for each battle.  Through the Battle of the Masters and the show's first six seasons, the Iron Chefs wore contemporary [[denim]] chef's jackets with individualized solid-colored patches and trim: Batali's jacket trim was red, Cora's pink, Flay's blue, Morimoto's white, Puck's green and Symon's black.  On the left shoulder of each jacket was a flag representing the Chef's country of origin.

During the show's sixth season, designer and ''Iron Chef America'' judge [[Marc Ecko]] designed new jackets for the Iron Chefs, which were first worn on the 2008 "Thanksgiving Showdown" episode. The jackets are individualized for each chef and include features such as short sleeves for Symon's jacket that make it resemble the black shirts he wears at his restaurant, Lola, or men's [[kimono]] styling and colors for Morimoto's jacket that suggest the costume he wore on the original ''Iron Chef''. With the exception of Symon and Garces (whose long sleeves were shortened for his second season on ICA), the jackets have long, turn-back sleeves.  Colors differ by chef: charcoal grey (Flay), black (Symon), light blue (Cora), silver with a red undershirt (Morimoto), white with light brown trim (Batali), white with green trim (Lagasse, for Battle White House [[White House Vegetable Garden|produce]]), brown with wide red edging (Garces), grey with white trim (Forgione), grey with black trim (Zakarian), and black with white trim (Guarnaschelli). "Iron Chef" with the chef's last name underneath is embroidered in the font from the show's logo on the left front side of the jacket, in the manner of a traditional chef's coat. The jackets also include a large embroidered Iron Chef patch on the right arm also bearing the chef's name, and an [[American flag]] on the left sleeve.
