Lely's new sustainable clothing line: the story behind the clothes
Develop a new, wearable, safe, and sustainable clothing line. That was the assignment we gave to the supplier of our company clothing. The first items are (of course) 100% Lely, with even more red, the very best quality, and a nice fit.
Both the workwear line and the casual clothing have been given a light makeover. From overalls, fleece jackets and working trousers to polo shirts, softshell jackets, winter jackets and hats. Everything is now made from sustainable materials – organic cotton and recycled polyester. A number of safety aspects have also been incorporated to improve the protection of our people and farmers in and around the barn.
