Black Engineer Jacket

The hum and din of a greasy workshop, evokes a sense of makers and doers. The Black Engineer Jacket was the jacket of choice for those that created in them. Maybe that is why it is also sometimes called a Drill Jacket, but unfortunately not, cotton drill is the fabric used. Cut just a tad longer with three pockets, no longer to hold widgets and screws but your smart phone and wallet. The original Yarmouth Stores Drill Jacket was only available in white but now these Engineer jackets come in a variety of heritage colours. Smart enough paired with an admiral shirt but relaxed enough to wear with a simple t-shirt. Today, The Black Engineer Jacket is an iconic yet versatile silhouette is a single breasted 3 button relaxed fit. These engineer jackets have patch pockets with pen pocket detail to save your ear as a holder. With etched Corozo fisheye buttons. A laundered finish softens the garment giving a 'lived in' feel. If you have a workshop or not, a classic Ticking Stripe Engineer Jacket is a must have. Made in Great Yarmouth.

    I purchased the navy smock (Yarmouth Oilskins) for my partner as a birthday present. My partner had forwarded me a link to a similar smock from another company, but unfortunately that company did not provide shipping from the UK to Ireland. Fortunately I found a nearly identical smock with SGB! I really appreciated that this company ships to Ireland/EU and made it easy on my end (I am currently based in the US) so I didn't have to track it through customs or make extra payments toward import charges. My partner really loves the smock, he's a gardener by trade and has worn it everyday since it arrived and said the quality is really lovely. Many thanks to Dan for responding to my questions regarding shipping and help tracking the package through to delivery. I will definitely look here for future birthday gifts (and Christmas as well)! Cheers

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.
