Branded Face Masks

[DanDeerskin]

Hi All,

My older brother is Autistic and has a real passion for public transport - particularly trains. He has been a little reluctant to wear face masks when out and about however we've found that he is more than happy to do so with the right sort of mask! He has a lovely railway-themed one which the wife of one of his carers made for him and I also managed to purchase a Transdev mask which is a little bit exotic for him living in Northern Ireland; he liked the link of it being my 'local' bus company now living in Lancashire.

I've done a bit of a search around some of the more well-known companies and not come up with much luck; would anyone happen to know of any companies (particularly TOCs etc) that have masks available to purchase?

I believe LNER do.

I hadn't seen either of those sites; thank you both. Some lovely designs on both!

I have just been on a rail themed mini break to South Gloucestershire and there were two chaps on that that had alot of really good rail related masks and I think they said they got them from Pixelshack too. I shall have to have look at that site myself. I don't like the standard medical type masks, and have obtained some plan black masks, plus a couple of Union Flag and a couple of rainbow masks, plus some pullover / motorcycle type masks too.

Does being autistic feature on the list of those exempt from wearing a face covering?

If the autism causes wearing one to cause distress, yes.

I purchased some face masks from Red Bubble. These are the ones I ware at work.

Thank you so much to everyone that has replied; so many incredible designs.

Autism does indeed feature on the exemption list however with my brother having underlying health conditions we have encouraged him to wear a mask when needed. Any reluctance he has to wear one quickly dissipates when a favourable design/brand gets produced! With your help, I'll expand his options and save his poor carers from having to wash and dry his two favourites quite so frantically!

One plus point for Masquette us that their masks come in different sizes, quite pleased with my Tube Lines one
