If you're spending a 10 hour shift in the walk-in, if it were me, I'd look into buying a heated vest. You could wear it under your jacket (even under your chef's coat), and they've got battery packs that can last up to 9 hours, depending on the model. I've seen them for as low as $70, but you can go up from there depending on features. I almost bought one a few years ago that had adjustable sides so it could be made smaller if you want to wear it against your body, under your clothes, or expanded to wear it over your clothes. There are different types with different heating element patterns, sizes of batteries, etc.
I would suggest getting one of those and an extra battery pack, wearing it under your chef's coat to warm you up, and sticking with a light jacket to give you better mobility / less restriction. Wear it under your chef's coat, don't tell anyone that you've got it, and then just play it off like you're really tough, and the cold doesn't bother you.
Then again, if it's your job to spend hours in the walk-in, maybe you could make this suggestion to the management, and explain that it would help you do your job better. They might agree, and buy it for you. At my last job, they bought the receiving guy a jacket since he spent so much time in the coolers & freezers, so you never know.
Note that off the shelf solutions exist and are cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UR4DEVG/
Better ones might be more expensive but for $70 it's not bad.
