No one's posted in this thread, so here's my new Sailor's Hat, paired with my old and tatty Taped Seam Ventile Smock.
The hat is awesome. It was made in Japan from a mixture of undyed canvas and moleskin, and has a stitch detail around the brim.
I'd been meaning to get it a few months back, but had thought it'd sold out. Turns out it was set aside for another client, who didn't end up buying it. That's good, because the other one in my size was sold to a heavily tattooed cage fighter, and I didn't fancy my chances of going one-on-one with him in a bid to steal his!
The smock is falling apart, because the sealing tape has come off most of the seams. @Anesthetist is a fan, but I'd suggest avoiding anything that is constructed this way.
The closest thing to my old smock is the Packable Jacket. It's made from Halftex, a nylon fabric, which has a nice feel. I don't know how breathable or waterproof it is.
I'm after the Cameraman Smock, which is made from camouflage Ventile.
There's also the Ventile Cameraman Fishtail. Chris, the owner of Pickings and Parry, really rates this, and reckons it's the best iteration of the design to date.

He's lost quite the weight since I last saw pics of him.

@goosehd I was asking what sites are best for Cabourn stuff. Not selling anything 'yet'.
-
@nixage some people try to work around the rule by saying that they are thinking about putting something up on eBay or I’m thinking about selling.
I see it’s not the case here and apologize.
-
@goosehd Ah, I see. Yeah, sorry, wasn't doing that. Cabourn is just a niche kind of thing and I don't sell much so I wasn't sure if there are some better sites now. There are so many now. Maybe it's here. IDK.

@nixage Sell it here for sure. Or at least give it a go... Back to topic. RIP, their UK site disappeared around Xmas so that might be that for seeing the brand here.
