Black Cord Maritime Overshirt

The Black Cord Maritime Overshirt is a substantial overshirt with a Peter Pan style collar. They make the perfect mid or top layer depending on the time of day and can be dressed up or down. These overshirts in cord use a heavy 300gsm 100% cotton cord that is dyed and finished in the U.K.
In the 1930's Yarmouth Stores carried a range of 'singlets and shirts' from the 'Cruising Shirt, the Sports Shirt and the Tunic Shirt in latest designs'. The Maritime Shirt takes inspiration from the original Flannel Army Shirts featured in the 1930 catalogue.
The styling references the heavy sailor's shirts that were historically worn layered for warmth as protection from the bracing North Sea winds. It has two generous buttoned chest pockets , and two vertical side hip pockets. The collar is a neat rounded shape. The glossy, black corozo buttons contrast beautifully on the rich moleskin. There are four stitched under arm eyelets for ventilation.
100% Cotton - wash with similar colours on a general cotton wash.

    Good, honest company selling tip-top quality, stylish goods: items that are unavailable elsewhere. I was looking for a jacket that I thought no longer existed until I "stumbled" onto this website. I bought two of them, I liked them so much. In future, I will know exactly where to look.

Meet the Maker: Yarmouth Oilskins

Rooted in the maritime heritage of Great Yarmouth since 1898, this legendary manufacturer has crafted weatherproof oilskin garments for over 125 years from their Norfolk coastal factory. Originally serving fishermen, the merchant navy and agricultural workers, Yarmouth Stores (as it was known) once employed over 1,200 skilled machinists before World War II, exporting oilskins and workwear to markets throughout the world. Today, twenty dedicated craftspeople—many with over 25 years' service—continue handcrafting each garment using traditional methods and original patterns preserved in the company archives. Their oilskin fabrics are sourced from British mills using sustainable natural fibres, hand-treated to achieve legendary waterproofedness that has protected sailors and workers for generations. Each piece is FSC approved, designed for decades of hard wear rather than seasonal fashion, embodying timeless coastal workwear that remains as popular worldwide as it was in the early 1900s.
