White hook-and-loop fastening coat for the food industry
Velilla 705 hook-and-loop coat: the food handler's coat without a single loose button
On a packing line or in a bakery, a button that pops off a coat ends up inside the product. This coat closes with hook-and-loop fastening concealed under a placket, with no buttons or press studs that could come off onto the food, which is why it is the go-to garment for food handlers.
✅ Features
Concealed centre hook-and-loop fastening: the fastening is covered by a front placket, so there are no hard parts that could come loose or snag.
Rib-knit cuffs: fit snugly at the wrist, stop the sleeve from brushing against the goods and make it easy to roll up the sleeves without the fabric falling down.
Chest patch pocket: a single pocket, on the chest, for a pen or thermometer.
65% polyester / 35% cotton fabric: 175 g/m², light for long indoor shifts and quick-drying.
Unisex cut from XS to 3XL: a single reference covers the whole workforce.

Bakeries, patisseries, pastry workshops and delicatessens.
Fishmongers, butchers and fresh food counters in supermarkets.

🧺 Care
Inside label: Velilla does not publish the wash cycle for this reference in its data sheet; follow the symbols sewn into the garment.
65/35 blend: the majority polyester content reduces wrinkling and shortens drying time compared with a pure cotton coat.
Before washing: close the hook-and-loop fastening. If it goes into the washing machine open, it fills with lint, loses grip and snags the rest of the laundry.
💡 Tip: this is a straight-cut unisex coat. If a jumper or a cold-room jacket will be worn underneath, go up a size: the hook-and-loop fastening allows some slack in the body, but the rib-knit cuffs do not stretch and will be tight over a thick sleeve.
