Just perfect
I always wanted a smock (sad I know) and when I found the shop is Southwold I could not believe my luck. However they did not have my size on the shelf so the seamstress took my measurements and within 24hrs I had a custom made (same price) item. Fantastic service and great smock!

Wow!
I have maybe 4 or 5 items from Blackshore and all have been of the highest quality, comfort, and style. This Guernsey stripe jumper no exception! It is absolutely wonderful. Thank you, as always.

Mushroom Roll Neck
I was enjoying a lovely weekend visit to Southwold with my wife and daughter when I stumbled across this delightful shop. I believe we need to buy less, wear more often and make sure each item is well made in sustainable materials, even better if it’s made in the UK. Beside that being the mantra of this business they have so many wonderful pieces to consider. Sure to visit again the next time we head to that beautiful part of this island. The jumper looks fantastic, fits with a relaxed look, which is how I like to dress, keeping my wonderfully warm in the colder conditions.

Perfect twill chore jacket
So thrilled with my twill chore jacket. The quality, fabric and detailing are all excellent and Cathy made sure that the fit was perfect by taking measurements and altering the jacket so that it fits exactly as it should. I know that it is jacket I will be wearing for years.

Another triumph!
Walberswick Canvas Cotton Trouser.
This is my second made-to-measure pair, this time in navy blue. Superb, friendly customer support to deliver my exacting requirements. Fabulous quality, fit (like a glove) and time-frame to deliver. As delighted again as the first time round and so refreshing to deal with a committed organisation dedicated to quality, style, bespoke and customer satisfaction. I’ll be back!
Thank you Blackshore!
