The @yarmouth_oilskins Bib and Brace worn with the Engineers jacket both in Khaki - styled by our retail partner @barbershop_co in Seoul, Korea.

In the C17th the original khaki cloth came from a dockside village called Dungri in Bombay . ‘Dungri’ was exported to England for manufacturing of robust working clothes.

Those who needed clothes for hard work that would not tear after a short time, from workers to slaves, began to wear dungarees. We’ve been making them in our factory for well over 100 years.

Yarmouth Stores est.1898

This photograph shows one of our shop fronts in the early 1900s.
At one point @yarmouth_oilskins had a shop in most UK ports , supplying clothing , chandlery and all associated goods required for going out to sea.

Shops were located in coastal towns around Britain, following the path of the herring . The herring boats followed the shoals of herring round from the north west coasts from May round the north of Scotland, down the east coast and then on to the coast of east England in the autumn. Because of the necessity of packing the fish quickly the boats went out and came back every day.

Baskets were a very important part of this industry. From the nineteenth century the catch was measured in crans which was approximately 1000 herring. The quarter cran basket was used both to land the catch and measure the haul. These baskets continued to be used until 1940 when boxes were brought in.
Yarmouth Stores also made and supplies these baskets.

Before the Second World War we employed more than 1200 people, the majority of them machinists making overalls, uniforms, smocks and other workwear in our factories in Great Yarmouth.
