The Portwest Chainmail Cut-Resistant Butcher's Clothing Bundle provides a complete set of protective butcher's clothes, including a chainmail apron, a chainmail glove and an easy-clean food coat.

Which Size Do I Need?
To find the right size for you, simply measure the length, circumference and width of your hand (ignoring the thumb area) as demonstrated in this diagram below. When you have your measurements, please consult the sizing chart beneath to find the right size for you.
In the event that your measurement falls on a sizing boundary, we recommend you select a size up to ensure maximum comfort and dexterity.
| Size | Length of Palm (cm) | Circumference of Hand (cm) |
| Small (Size 7) | 171mm | 178mm |
| Medium (Size 8) | 182mm | 203mm |
| Large (Size 9) | 192mm | 229mm |
| Extra Large (Size 10) | 204mm | 254mm |
What Is Chainmail And How Does It Keep You Safe?
Chainmail is a series of metal rings locked together to form a protective sheet. When a dagger enters standard fabric, it simply tears right through the fibres. But because metal does not bend or tear like fabric does, chainmail blocks the tip of a sharp implement before it gets close enough to pierce the skin. This makes them the superior choice for hand-wear in abattoirs, food preparation environments and blade handling settings.
Steel ringlet formation stops blades in their tracks
How Sanitary Is the Chainmail?
Chainmail is made from thousands of individual stainless steel ringlets, and is suitable for hygienic use with food and other perishables. Stainless steel is hygienic because it has no indents or rivets, making it impossible for bacteria and germs to gain a foothold. It does not corrode, meaning rust and other harmful texture decay doesn't affect it.
Can Stainless Steel Be Washed?
Stainless steel is also super simple to wash. Simply scrub the glove with hot, soapy water.
Food Protection: Portwest 2206 Food Industry Coat
The final layer of protection you need should reduce contamination and stop food from staining your clothing. The Portwest 2206 Food Coat is made to the highest standards to provide excellent protection against stains from food, oil, fats and other substances. The coat fits comfortably underneath the chainmail apron, and completes this set of butcher's clothes with a subtle touch of style.
Key Features and Attributes

- Non shrinking to ensure that this style maintains its shape wash after wash
