Taken from acquisition worksheet: Alicia Woods, from Sudbury, who designed the covergalls, has been involved with the mining industry for over 15 years. She is currently the Director of Sales for MacLean Engineering, and also worked in sales for the Marcotte Mining Machinery Services Inc. In 2012, Alicia created Covergalls to design, manufacture and distribute coveralls for women. Her first large client was Vale.

Function

To provide protection, specially made for women while working on industrial sites.

Technical

Taken from acquisition worksheet: The donated pair was one of the early coveralls made in 2012 to test the design with women in Sudbury. It features 3M Scotchlite reflective material, snaps at wrists, an adjustable waist, and rear opening and fits the woman’s body better than standard coveralls. With the input from women who tried the product, Alicia changed the mandarin collar (in this design) to a regular collar. This pair is made of 100% cotton; other models are available in poly cotton and in flame resistant fabric.
