These are the perfect neutral-colored, fabric masks, which are suitable for wearing in a business environment with just about any color or pattern in clothes. As an added benefit the fibers are all natural except for the ear elastics. There are three layers of fabric which help to enhance the filtration level. The slightly textured, cotton-hemp blend is on the outside, with two cotton layers underneath. What is interesting and very useful is that one of the cotton layers forms a pocket inside the mask into which can be inserted a disposable piece of filtration material. I have seen videos demonstrating the use of high level filtration papers in fabric masks due to the shortage of disposable masks. The painstaking and detailed sewing on these make them an excellent buy that will likely withstand many washings. Probably the ear elastics will give out over time, but it would be easy enough to sew on more, or make permanent straps to tie. Thanks!

These are the best hand made face masks I had tried so far! They are face contoured and double layered and have an opening to insert additional protective layering. And they are a wonderful fit. I ordered 2 sets. And I just ordered more for family members!

We gave this to my moms BFF(mom is 91). It was the perfect gift for a woman who sews well. She was so thankful. Really great workmanship. Even the way it was wrapped was magical.
