What Los Angeles's weather means for restaurants and bars
Hot days are occasional, roughly 26 days a year at 90°F or more, so a breathable blend is worth it for the kitchen while front-of-house staff can wear the softer cotton tee. December nights average 48°F, cool but never cold, so a light zip hoodie is enough for staff, and heavier fleece belongs on the retail shelf as a gift item. Tee weather, an average high of 70°F or more, lasts 9 months (March to November), so the retail shelf should lead with tees and caps for most of the year. Patios seldom lose a night to weather where yearly rain totals about 14 inches, so the patio crew's caps and tees see heavy use.

When do patio staff in Los Angeles need a warmer layer?
