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.
