Take any garment produced by Shield and look at it really closely. Very often it's what you can't see that makes a big difference to your comfort and safety. A point-in-case is the stitching on our coveralls.

The types of seams and stitches used to assemble a garment influence its durability, cost, comfort and appearance as well as its ability to be repaired or altered. When you take into account the hundreds of seam and stitch types available and the thousands of possible combinations, you can see that careful selection is required to choose exactly the right kind of stitch or seam for the right task.

No single seam assembly is right for every application in a garment. At Shield, we make sure that only the optimum seaming and stitching techniques are used when making our coveralls. Everything from reinforcing points to the best thread sizes for particular applications is taken into account in the construction of our garments. The result is truly hard wearing, long lasting protective clothing.
