I was desperately looking for a waterproof coat and tried a good few of those padded winter ones everyone seems to wear. Didn’t suit me at all. I accidentally found the Blackshore website browsing and loved the look of the orange poncho. Personally, I never spend this much on any clothing. I don’t shop a lot but prefer to stick to brands I love and buy things I will have for many years and preferably ethically made- so although expensive for me, I loved the company ethos and that it is made in the UK. I am short so didn’t know if it would suit me but I absolutely love it. It’s so different, the colour is beautiful, the design nautical and it’s big enough to throw over my winter coat in rain and light enough that I’ll be able to wear throughout the seasons. It is definitely showerproof but don’t think it is waterproof enough for torrential rain which is a slight shame. Beautifully made - so glad I invested and delighted to support Blackshore. Love your lifetime mend guarantee and the handmade by Lucia tag was a lovely touch.
