Black Hooded Smock

The card pattern for the Black Hooded Smock from Yarmouth Oilskins is taken directly from their extensive archive in the recreation Yarmouth Oilskins have used a modern lightweight waxed fabric not available when it was originally created but perfectly suited. Produced in Dundee by Halley Stephenson one of Britain's oldest wax cloth mills, this emulsified wax finish cloth is lightweight breathable and weather repellent. It offers a soft tumbled appearance, keeping all the character of natural cotton.The patina will develop over time and just get better and better. This fabric is washable, after a number of washes the waxed finish may deteriorate, so we advise washing your smock as infrequently as possible. The Hooded Smock is unlined, with an internal waist draw cord, and a sturdy brass zip. It has generous deep welt pockets with a buttoned storm flap, and a three-piece hood. They make the perfect outerwear for hiking, walking the dog or simply nipping to the pub. This 'all black' edition pays homage to Norfolk's beautifully unspoilt dark nights - this time of year darkness sets in early and we are still blessed with area's of total darkness where light does not reach.

    Update 22/10/22 - There were supply chain issues, which can occur from time to time with any business and especially given the whole, 'I want it now', consumer thinking, leaving me deflated. BUT, SGB and Sir Dan did everything to sort it out and the customer service was brill. I was offered an alternative item with an extra goodwill gesture on top, and was more than happy to wait for the original, cherry on top included. Dan kept me informed and updated in regards to the supplier's updates and it was worth the wait.

    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.
