Fisherman's Smocks for Men & Women
Originally designed as workwear by the fishing community, the Fisherman’s Smock has become a versatile overgarment sought after by many for its practicality and durability. Historically, it was made from recycled old sails, a durable tough cotton canvas fabric, which was ideal to face the elements and stood up to the rigours of the job. Usually designed loose fitted to allow ample arm movements and to be layered over a pure wool fisherman’s jumper or Breton sweater, acting as both a wind proof and shower proof overgarment. Still used by fishermen and sailors to this day, but equally sought after by artists and gardeners.
