80s CASUALS SMOCK A/W11 STAGE 2

STAGE 2


STAGE 1



In February details were announced for a Smock as part of our 2011 Autumn/Winter Collection. A rough sketch of the plans were put together but before the sample stage many alterations can take place. As can be seen in the above pics, the initial ideas needed some tweaking before going to the manufacturers for sample production.
Even once the sample has been produced it is still possible to make alterations whether that be a button or even the colour as material samples can sometimes be deceptive.
We now await the first sample which can take up to 2 months to produce, so as soon as it arrives we can then compare it to our sketch and put pics up here once we commit to the design.
A thick waterproof cotton is the likely material with two front pockets, a narrow slit pocket for quick access, a left breast angled pocket and a hidden back poachers pocket. The hood will be peaked with a drawstring fastener for the hood and hem. The cuff and neck will both be three button fastening.
