Police PPE Fabrics
We develop and manufacture specialist protective police fabrics with a single purpose: to keep people safe and protected in the most hazardous situations.
Protective police fabrics
Our mission is to keep emergency services workers safe. We listen, we innovate, we test, and we apply fibre positioning knowledge to deliver protection, comfort and quality.
Fabrics that offer the
ultimate protection
We’ve been providing protective fabrics to the emergency services for more than 150 years, since we first supplied wool melton to the London Fire Brigade.
Fibre positioning knowledge
Combining fibre, weaving and finishing technologies to offer the ultimate in high performance fabrics, our police PPE fabrics to meet the requirements of BS7971-10:2004, according to the risk assessment of an individual police force.

We offer TITAN™ Technology fabrics to be worn either as a single layer garment or in conjunction with a drop liner. Alternatively we also offer a meta-aramid fabric to be worn in conjunction with appropriate FR underwear.
REPEL+ finish
All our PPE fabrics are treated with our REPEL+ finish, which offers protection from hazardous chemicals even after repeated laundering.
Our UKAS-accredited laboratory
We have recently unveiled our latest investment into the future of textile innovation – a £250,000 state-of-the-art new laboratory space.
All Hainsworth Protective Fabrics meet and surpass international industry standards. Our laboratory means we can test our fabrics in-house, to ensure consistency at all stages of the manufacturing process.
Our team of lab technicians carry out a range of standard tests for evaluating specific textile properties both physical (e.g. tensile / tear strength, rub tests) and chemical (e.g. colour fastness).
