Size guide
Wonderful product, tremendous service.
The Smock has that quality feel where you know you're going to be long time best friends.
Why more tops don't come with 3 pockets I don't know.
The wife even admitted to it imbuing me with a certain Picasso-esque look.
If you're looking for a unique, timeless piece that isn't a hoodie or a sweatshirt - this is the top you are looking for.
With regards sizing, I'm a 5ft 8, 44 inch chest & 37inch waist (on a good day) ex rugby player, and the Large is ideal.
Much Obliged Team Blackshore!
This amazing garment looks and feels like a tailored jacket and has such a high standard of fit and finish it’s hard to put into words how handy this smock is.
My Southwold Slop arrived, beautifully packaged & was a joy to open. The quality of the fabric & strength of the garment was apparent before I even put it on. I bought to wear in the Winter in my studio, as my work is quite physical & I need something warm, but flexible, but I have already warm it loads at the beach & on a camping trip. I get envious looks whenever I wear it and I love it.
I am 5’7” and have an ample bust, so I had to force myself to order a small, but I had measured my old one, which equated with the ‘small ‘measurements. It fits perfectly.
I am a very happy customer!
.... 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.
