I’m quite sensitive so found the wool a little prickly, but think I’ll forget about it after wearing it for a while. I bought the dark grey, which is a very beautiful bluish grey (I couldn’t quite tell from the photo). I find the pattern unusual and stylish. I’m a woman, by the way, and prefer gender neutral clothing that tends towards the masculine. So it’s perfect for me. Now I need to find a black wool coat to go with. A complementary beanie hat would have been nice.
The colour is gorgeous. I wasn’t sure what to expect since some of the photos indicate a washed out orange, but it’s really bright. It’s a kind of ‘tent’ but that’s the point. It drapes nicely as the fabric is not that thick or stiff. I don’t know exactly how waterproof it is but trust it’ll work. It had a bit of a musty smell so I rinsed it and aired it, and the water shows through the fabric but doesn’t seep through. It’ll be interesting to see how it works in practice. I thought this kind of waxed cotton poncho could be a good idea since there’s nothing worse than being sweaty in the rain because of wearing plastic. I was quite seduced by the sense of tradition and quality conveyed by this company and as a non-native, I really like to touch base with the deeper elements of British culture and traditions, and support it. I think this piece of garment is reasonably priced. The poncho came with a little tag saying who made it and when. Very cute!
Whatever the weather, these socks are warm and super-comfy
Very comfortable and breathable, and soft
Something I will wear and love for many, many years
Roll on autumn
Looking forward to receiving the rest of my order which I am certain will not disappoint me
I was contacted to confirm my sizes and then within days my week made beautiful trousers arrived with ease.
The scarf is excellent and the Blackshore staff were just brilliant.
.... I hope it was as successful as my Twill Slop (I like to think of it more as a smock). I bought it to wear on a boat, in the garden, stacking wood, going to the supermarket, and generally hanging out in the Highlands. So far it hasn’t had an outing in which it hasn’t excelled itself. The three pockets at the front are inspired, and if you’d rather not always have a bag with you, this could be the perfect post-lockdown purchase as well.
Apron is very nice and well constructed, like all of the items I have from Blackshore. I'll definitely get a lot of use out of it, which will protect the other Blackshore items I wear beneath.
Feels so luxurious and warm. Colour a wonderful red, not too bright just a warm holly berry red. Not tested it's warmth, it's lockdown time and sunny and warm outside 😊
This is the third item I have purchased from Blackshore, each as well made and attractive as the last (I have the duffle and the poncho). I have a hard time believing the quality is so high; I'm not used to seeing this level of craftsmanship in clothing. I used to have a closet packed full of poorer quality attire that was cheap and never lasted long. No more! It's way wiser in the long run to buy something a little more expensive but a whole lot finer; this cagoule will likely outlive me. I will definitely be buying for from Blackshore!
This duffle is fantastic! And luckily it came in the only color I would find acceptable. This is the second item I have ordered from Blackshore and I purchased it based on the quality of the first item (the poncho). This duffle is every bit as good! Get it; you will not be sorry! VERY well made.
This is a lovely chic jacket - well made - and stylish. great buttons!
Very pleased all round, first pair of new jeans for many years, nice change from standard cut trousers. Recommended.
Thank you so much for the lovely jacket, fits perfectly & glad I ordered a size up fo wearing a jumper if it’s cold. Quality is outstanding & beautifully packaged, will last for years !
So soft, warm and snuggly. Looks really cool under a pea coat with jeans but would look equally good with a skirt I think. The size small was perfect for me ( 5’11” normally a size 8). The wool is so soft and the neck not tight at all - a slouchy relaxed fit. Love the different stitching on the elbows and shoulders - a quality item and worth every penny!
A comfortable, warm, well made, unusual, and most of all versatile jersey jacket. It's like something Brunel or any of his working class mates would have worn. Clearly hard wearing and weirdly Victorian in its style. Worn it every day since receiving it...casually, scruffily and, oddly, semi-formally, too. Outstanding piece of kit.
On a tangential note, my wife also likes the style but bemoans the lack of female models in the Blacksore catalogue. Bit of a wokey comment I guess, but the jacket is superb.
A few years back I made the conscious decision to stop buying poorer quality clothes and spend a bit more on fewer higher quality items; I could avoid the early burial in the landfill, maybe help work against forced child labor. It's been going well for me and I've been very happy with my newer purchases.
In recent times I have been looking for a rain poncho. I wanted something other that the "reusable" vinyl cheapies that end up straight in the landfill after a couple of uses and look naff anyway. I wanted a poncho especially because I often wear a backpack or carry a briefcase beneath. Not too long ago I accidentally ran across Blackshore and their awesome looking rain poncho. So I bought it.
The shipping was incredibly swift, only a few days from Southwold to my door in So. California (yes, it does occasionally rain here). Interacting with them was a pleasure (thank you Simon). The poncho itself is simply amazing. It fits great, plenty of room, very well constructed, dry, and will last a lifetime. I'm very very happy with the entire experience.
In fact, so happy that I turned right around and ordered the duffle (which i also fantastic)!
Thank you Blackshore!
I decided to purchase this Guernsey sweater as an investment piece. It is gorgeous, so beautifully made with attention to detail. A fabulous choice of colours and sizes.
It is extremely warm and i fear i may never take it off !
Really pleased with these classic moleskin jeans. A great fit and very comfortable. Blackshore took them up for me so they are the perfect length. Definitely will be getting some good wear out of them.
I was always looking for a jacket like this, amazing fit, keeps warm and looks great!
I bought this jumper a few weeks ago and have been really happy with the design and the quality. I love how all the products are made in the UK and some even right there in the shop!
Popped in the shop while visiting Southwold great products all manufactured in UK - great materials and fit highly recommended
Perfect size to keep all the important travel stuff together. Great big zip which is functioning smoothly and looks good.
Fast efficient delivery. Great bag. Built to last. What I like most is it’s simple, robust construction. Great range of colours...orange No, it is a good colour.
Our in shop experience was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome with personnel on hand to enthusiastically explain the business story and products on sale. My t shirt is a quality item!
Good quality wool jumper. Wearable. Fashionable longer length at the back.
Good value
Really enjoyed visiting the shop, chat with with owners and purchase the duffle bag. This is a fun item which is extremely well made and durable. Very successful Xmas present.
Ordered the Gift card on-line. It arrived in seconds and was well received by my son. Thank you.
Bought this jumper for my wife, who loves it!
