A British-made cotton smock, estimated to be from the 1960s.
Smocks are rarely in stock at our shop.
While we do encounter more recent examples, older pieces with a design that truly resonates are few and far between.
The colour is a versatile, understated navy. Constructed from 100% cotton with a somewhat textured hand.
The front features three flap pockets in total, with drawcords at the neck and waist. Drawing these cords allows for variation in silhouette—an invitation to adjust the fit according to mood and occasion.
The zip slider employs a AERO manufacturer zip.
For those attentive to vintage pieces, such details are precisely where one's care resides.
Cut with raglan sleeves, it settles on the shoulder with a clean, composed silhouette.
This appears to be a golden size suited to the Japanese frame, accommodating a range of builds with ease.
Given its smock construction, even slighter frames can wear it oversized without losing its inherent character.
The fabric shows the patina characteristic of cotton, though without significant damage that would impede wear. There is much life ahead.
Should you be seeking such a piece, this may well be the moment.
