Lakeland coveralls feature a three-piece hood whereas many European garments use a two piece hood. A two piece hood is of course two-dimensional so does not fit the head properly – leading to the odd “pointy” top of the hood. Lakeland’s three-piece hood is three-dimensional and fits the head with a snug and comfortable fit.

Unlike most European garments which generally use a “batwing” sleeve which restricts overhead arm movement and causes stress on other parts of the garment, all Lakeland Europe coveralls feature inset sleeves which are hinged at the arm and allow greater freedom of movement and are a better fit. The Inset Sleeve reduces the tendency to place stress on the crotch and leads to a more comfortable and safer garment.

Standard European coveralls generally consist of a simple crotch with four seams (two leg and two body) meeting at one point. Lakeland Europe coveralls feature two diamond-shaped gussets that increase strength and fit, making the shape more three-dimensional and reducing the stress on the crotch.
