The Story
Yarmouth Stores have manufactured oilskin clothing for well over 100 years, Oilskin dressing was applied by hand to calico cotton in-house in our factory in Great Yarmouth. It’s documented that in 1953 the factory would produce around 2000 oilskin garments per week. Capes have featured in our catalogues since the beginning as a practical weatherproof coverall.
The Norfolk Sea Cape - designed in collaboration with our friends at The Coastal Exploration Company.
It’s been put to the test, at sea aboard their traditional wooden fishing boats.
The Detail
Taking the very best details from our dry wax hooded smock , the cape is designed to be thrown on over layers to offer protection from wind and light showers.
