This is a high quality 65% Cotton 35% Polyester beekeepers jacket of our own design. We always like using the hooded jacket because it is easy to flip the hood back out of your way between beeyards or hives. The cloth hood on everybody else's jacket were just too hot in Arkansas in the summer time. So we decided to make our own. We have used these for years and really like them. They let a lot more air in and are lot more comfortable. The netting can rest on the back of your head when you bend over, so I always wear a hat, baseball or welders cap under mine.

We have these specially made for us as well. Goatskin wears well. It is smooth which helps deter stings and is supple enough to allow you to work easily. These also have NO ventilating strips in the gauntlets. I've worked bees since I was 6 years old, on many long, hot days. I've never felt a cool breeze thru those vent holes, but the bees sure do seem to like to sting my wrist through them when my shirt sleeves work their way up my arms.
