Thanks so much, Zoë.We’ve been wearing your smocks for nearly 30 years (my husband is from Cornwall) and it’s just so lovely to be buying them for the next generation, especially having the option to buy online now we live in Sussex.Your website is brilliant, and thank you for being so helpful.Hope you and the team can have a rest after the busy summer season!Katharine

I wore one of your smocks all the way across the north Atlantic this summer (literally every day). I sailed double handed with my fiancé Jessica (in copy) the last smock you shipped was one for her, she was just a little bit jealous of mine. Here is a link to the blog so you can find out more about the trip https://katieandjessieonaboat.com/ confusingly named katie jessie, that was her old sailing buddy just the name hasn’t changed.The smock was the perfect sailing attire for the trip, the short sleeves make rope work and winching safe and easy, the thick weave gives it good weight so it doesn’t flap around in a breeze and gives great wear resistance. It is tightly woven enough to be waterproof enough to get on deck, reef, change a headsail in a big sea and rain, then get back without having to put on a sailing jacket. The open easy access pockets are perfect to keeping you knife, tape, and marlin spike to hand.

My wife has at last been persuaded to buy another smock after 10 years of continual use. She is from Yorkshire, and spends carefully.The smocks are ideal for anyone with fingers that don't work very well. The material is pliable and it is easy to get dressed without struggling with buttons.However, I can only really report on how good they are after she's worn this pone for another 10 years. We shall see.

Thank you David.

I purchased my first smock from The Smock Shop 15 years ago, and it's still going strong.

Now the whole family have them, and they are delighted with these colourful, well-made garments.

Thank you Nigel
