DIRTY JACK in action
It’s here! Our brand-new rugged design: the Grand Chef.
- Double-woven, so better heat-resistant
- A sturdy loop to hang the cloth
- Generous size of approximately 55 x 65 cm. (after washing)
- Also available as a two-pack with the Charcoal cloth and the White Label with €5 discount!
Why double thickness?
DIRTY JACK is double woven: two layers of 100% cotton, weighing around 330 grams per square meter. This makes it much thicker than a tea towel and allows it to withstand heat for longer. Ideal for hot pans, roasting trays, baking sheets, and the Dutch oven.
Please note: DIRTY JACK has its limits; it is still a cotton cloth. For prolonged contact with a hot object, it is recommended to always fold the cloth once or more. DIRTY JACK is not fireproof.
Washing & care
- Wash your towel before first use: it will absorb moisture better and shrink to its final size (approx. 55 × 65 cm).
- Darks with darks, lights with lights. Do not use bleach.
- Wash at up to 60 °C; up to 95 °C if you really need to.
- Line drying works best. Give it a good shake while damp. It can go in the dryer, but often comes out creased.
Shipping & delivery
- Netherlands: order before 6 pm and receive it within 2 working days (we aim for the next working day).
- Belgium and Germany: 3 to 5 working days.
- Personalised: allow up to 5 working days.

Beautiful quality, very durable, nice finish. Double woven, with a special layer for heat reflection. Separate hole to hang it up. Beautiful gift, both for yourself and for someone else. Super fast delivery.

After buying the first cloths in the store, I immediately ordered extras with our company logo on them. Delivered within just a few days! We can't cook without them anymore!

We’ve been using the cooking towel for a while now and give it as a gift now and then. The quality is fantastic! And it still looks fancy too.

Since my birthday, I 'wear' my Dirty Jack at every BBQ session, rain or shine. All the stains come out again, and after dozens of washes it still looks like new.

Nice and big and super thick! Away with those far too small potholders. When barbecue season rolls around again, it moves outside with you.

Essential for all my BBQ and hobby cooking sessions. Thanks to the thickness of the cloth and the handy buttonhole, I’ve become a huge fan!

Nice and thick and sturdy double-woven, so I no longer have to worry about painful fingers. A winner for barbecuing, but also in the regular kitchen!
Frequently Asked Questions
Question about your order or about JACK itself? Email us at info@mydirtyjack.com. We always respond within one business day.
What makes DIRTY JACK different from a tea towel?
It is double-woven from 100% cotton, weighing approximately 330 grams per square meter. This makes it much thicker, sturdier and larger than a tea towel, with a very strong buttonhole for hanging it up.
How heat-resistant is the cloth?
Much better than a regular tea towel: the double layer insulates against heat. During prolonged contact, heat will eventually transfer through, so fold it once or more. The cloth is made of cotton and is therefore not fireproof.
How big is DIRTY JACK?
Approximately 55 × 65 cm after the first wash. Large enough to fold in half and still have a firm grip.
Should I wash it before use?
Yes, please. After the first wash, it absorbs moisture better and shrinks to its intended size.
How do I wash DIRTY JACK?
Machine wash darks with darks and lights with lights, without bleach. Up to 60°C, 95°C if necessary. Preferably line dry; tumble drying may cause creasing.
Are all the labels the same fabric?
Yes. The material, quality and size are the same for all cloths; only the design and label colour differ. So just choose your favourite colour.
Can I have my towel personalized?
Yes, most cloths can be embroidered with a name, initials or short text (max. 22 characters) for €9.95. Limited Editions and multipacks cannot be personalized. Expect a maximum delivery time of 5 business days; it often arrives sooner.
Can I order cloths with our company logo?
Yes. We embroider logos for businesses, hospitality and events, also as corporate gifts. Email info@mydirtyjack.com for quantities, prices and delivery times, or visit the for businesses page.
What’s the deal with the Burn Foundation?
For four years, DIRTY JACK has supplied cloths to the Dutch Burn Foundation and makes an annual financial contribution to their work: preventing burns and improving care for people with burns.
Where can I buy DIRTY JACK in stores?
At more than 55 selected stores. The store locator page shows the current overview.
