Sheriff sell spares that zip into place but you are talking over £40, you won't see them on the website you will have to give them a ring.

Alternatively you could get yourself a vest top veil to go under the suit.

A new hat/veil is 50 quid. I was criticised on other sites for asking this quesion buti really dont understand why.

Probably because you can buy a cheaper suit for £50, but not as robust as a sheriff. Buy cheap buy twice.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but the best bee suit you can afford is the most important piece of equipment, especially when you are a new beekeeper. It gives you confidence and therefore improves the way you handle and view your bees. Bees will live in a dustbin if you let them but a bee suit should be the one thing you spend a little money on. My first one I had for 25 years. Be thrifty with everything but your suit. One day you may thank me for this advice!

I have a sherrif suit. I need a hat etc for it

 

[enrico]

I was hinting that you might like to buy a new hat and veil from the supplier! An old one will be old for a reason! Probably a holy reason!!!!!!!

 

[Swarm]

Sage advice from Enrico, as always. Contact the supplier and get a new veil for your suit.

You can easily replace the apiarist suit with regular clothes. To get started, choose a white shirt with a tight-fitting collar. In a beekeeper's suit, the shirt plays a primary role. Using a front-fastening shirt with a closed collar that can be securely fastened around the mesh is better. White sports or work pants made of thick fabric. Ensure the trousers have elastic bands that cover the waist and ankles tightly. Sweatpants should be light enough, so you don't get too hot in them.
