Bespoke 3 Layer Fitted Face Mask

The WHO recommends you wear a 3 layer fabric mask when in public.
#weartocare Protect others and protect yourself. These masks are for use by the public to protect supplies of N95 surgical masks while also providing us, the general public, the ability to stay safe during the COVID-19 crisis. These mask are not a replacement for N95 or surgical masks. They are designed to add a layer of protection for the general population while out and about. The key elements that make this mask a better fit are the adjustable ear straps, a metal nose strip to close up the gap between cheeks and nose, and finally the addition of a shaped chin and nose area, in an effort to fit most people much better than the concertina style masks that often gape at the sides. You get one nose strip and one filter free with each mask, with a cotton drawstring storage/wash bag. You can replace nose strip and filters (replacements sold separately in our shop).
Mask features:
- 3 layers of fabric, a mix of cottons and silks for better breathability.
- 2 adjustable elastic ear loops.
- A metal nose strip (concealed) for better fit around nose and cheeks (replaceable, available in our online shop).
- Filter pocket (for use with disposable filters).
- Comes with one disposable filter (replacements sold separately in our online shop)
- Moulded chin and nose area.
- Washable up to 40 degrees (remove nose strip for washing).
- Soft, comfortable and durable.
- Comes with a soft cotton drawstring carry/storage wash bag
- No pins are used while making your mask
- 100% of profit will be donated to The British Lung Foundation.
The inner layer of fabric acts as a pocket to insert a disposable filter, one disposable filter is provided with your mask. More can be ordered, but if we are out of stock due to high demand we can point you towards reliable sellers. Filters aren’t required, they just add another level of protection. The mask will arrive in a sealed and dated bag, all masked are washed after being made and handled with gloves for packaging. Lining & Elastic Ear loops We will contact you to allow you to choose your colour of elastic ear loop. the ear-loops are adjusted to fit with a small bead that can be slid to tightened or loosened achieving your perfect fit. No two linings are the same! Nose Strip The mask contains a metal nose strip (used on PPE masks), these can be moulded to fit the bridge of your nose creating a better fitting mask. Please store your mask in its moulded shape wherever possible to protect the metal nose strip, try not to store the mask folded or opened out flat or you will have to replace your nose strip more often. Sizing This is a guide to choosing your fit, it isn’t precise.
- Child: suitable for ages 8-12
- Standard: this is ideal for a teenager and any adult with a small / medium / average face size (distance from tip of nose to chin).
- Large: this is suited to longer or larger faces / strong jawline, and beards (the distance from tip of nose to chin).
Wearing the mask – If using with a filter please place the filter in the inner pocket with the PM2.5 facing you. Adjust the elastic straps to fit the mask flat to your face with the bead slider on the elastic, it should be as fitted as you can make it, but comfortable, mould the metal nose strip area to fit as best as possible around your nose and cheeks. When returning home avoid touching the front of the mask, remove the mask by unhooking it from behind your ears and keep the outer side of the mask away from you as much as possible, dispose of the filter (if you’ve used one).
Caring for your mask – You can machine wash at 40 Degrees. Remove the metal nose strip through the small slot on the inside of the mask to wash or steam, the nose strip can be reused (when they wear out you can buy replacements in our store here). Place the mask in its washing bag, wash at up to 40 degrees on a gentle machine wash. Alternatively; steam it with a clothes steamer or steam iron, spray it with rubbing alcohol or sanitiser and leave it to dry. Pop the metal nose strip back in. Wash your hands thoroughly. #weartocare

Do face masks stop the spread of coronavirus? Scientists at Edinburgh University investigate
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are carrying out experiments to see if face masks are effective in reducing the spread of Covid-19. Using a medical mannequin and computer generated imagery, they are able to see how far droplets travel when a person breathes, coughs or sneezes.

These are by far the best masks I have seen, wouldn’t trust any others. The shipping is fast, the items are amazing and the best quality. They give you confidence as they are thick layered with the filter so top quality :)

Ellie (verified owner) –
These masks are amazing! Such great fabric and elastic choices, the two I’ve got fit my face perfectly and have the benefit of a removable nose strip for extra comfort and effectiveness. Can’t recommend enough!!

After ordering a mask for myself, I ordered another 3 for family members. Absolutely top quality and a perfect fit.
Orla Smith (verified owner) –
This was great! It’s so much more comfortable than my previous cheap disposable mask + never slips off my face + smells so much better (and doesn’t steam up my glasses as much). Very much worth it.
Kirsty C. (verified owner) –
Very happy with the whole service

Great fit and classy looking!
Lauren Southern (verified owner) –
Fantastic. Supremely comfortable and really well made. The mask actually fits my face instead of gaping at the sides (like the disposable masks do). The ribbon elastic around the ears doesn’t irritate and with the filter slipped into the filter pocket it is reassuring that I am getting some protection as well as helping to protect others. Really pleased and looking to buy another one if not two more. I will be recommending these masks to friends, family and colleagues. Thank you.

Despite the mask coming with no cords to fit over ears the problem was quickly resolved by mail and post. I now have a very good mask in which I can replace the filter. I chose this site because this seemed one of the best face masks I came across. Thank you
