SAFETY WHEN TURNING
The choice of what to wear when woodturning never seems to worry some turners, it should.  It's all to easy to get a loose sleeve or some other item of clothing caught up in a spinning lathe. The damage that can cause is horrific. Wearing safe, comfortable clothing is important.

LOVELL WORKWEAR
The clothing produced by Lovell Workwear has been designed and manufactured with the safety of woodturners and woodworkers in  mind.  The Lovell Original is a smock made specially for woodturning and woodworking in general, the smock was developed for safety and optimum comfort. It features an adjustable collar that keep out dust and shavings, pinch-close velcroed cuffs and sheer front to keep clothing away from rotating work and cutters, it also features large rear pockets to avoid the collection of flying shavings.  The smock is cut in a jacket style with a full length, open ended, metal zip. This smock is also free of the annoying knitted cuffs that seem to attract shavings like a magnet.

CHOICE OF MATERIALS
All materials used for the Lovell Original are hard wearing and vary from colour to colour, all are machine washable.  Navy Denim, Extremely hardwearing, traditional denim weave in navy blue colour. Natural, unbleached, light oatmeal colour, 100% natural cotton.
