Vale Smock / Sandstone
A pullover, hoodless smock with fully zip-able side seam for quick and easy extra ventilation. British-made from GOTS certified 100% Organic Cotton Ripstop, woven in Italy. It’s lightweight, water-resistant and wind-resistant. An ideal outer layer for fast paced walks when you're likely to get a sweat on - pub outings, work meets, the last-minute dash to the supermarket. Vale because our unit is in Cragg Vale. We get weather here. Sandstone because that's the rock we've got on the moors. No hood means no extra bulk. Zippable full side seam makes extra ventilation quick and easy. Funnel neck collar, kangaroo pocket, press stud adjustable cuffs. British-made zips. PFC free.
We get weather here. In Britain you don’t need telling that the weather changes faster than prime ministers.
“We like our clothes to be able to walk a confident line between pub or restaurant in town & the hilltop hike, dog walk or country ramble…”
The Vale Smock delivers in these environments which, let’s face it, is where most of us do our expeditions. Higher intensity activities, like cycle commuting and micro adventures, are also possible.
Pullover smocks come from the vintage archive of outdoor wear. Like many great utility designs that have stood the test of time, they’re also stylish and practical garments for modern life as we navigate the urban jungle and enjoy the country life.
It’s in the details…
Full side seam ventilation zips.
Funnel neck collar.
1/4 length British-made zip.
Roomy kangaroo pocket with press stud closures.
Adjustable sleeve cuffs with press studs.
Drawcord adjustable hem.
British made to last from 100% Organic Cotton ripstop

James Goggin –
Vale smock is great I wear it for cycling walking the dog lots of things. Would improve with hood but there’s another one in the Heb range with one. Washed well ripstop material. Buy one you need it ( mine’s black not sandstone)
