Why all the Pirates ? In the early eighties we took on a stall in the Barbican Craft Market , Penzance selling our smocks. After a few years upstairs we moved downstairs and had a shop front and more space. We had also taken over the Riviera Displays printing works in Marazion who printed a large array of stickers and other gift wear. Knowing that The Pirates of Penzance was a well know saying, as well as a musical, we developed the silk screen printing of T sh*ts with the skull design. When we moved to the St.Ives Craft Market they came too along with other attire that was developed mainly for the dressing up trade. Then we transferred all to the Old Harbour Masters office where we stayed for over 37 years. We still have most of it available on the website but will not be restocking once gone.

Our smocks, superbly distressed , went down very well at the Houston Grand Opera Texas's production of The Wreckers . Thanks to Christoper Oram their costume and scenic designer , who lives locally for finding our smocks . The Wreckers was composed by Dame Ethel Smyth in 1886 who was inspired on a walking tour of Cornwall and the stories of the plundering of ships lured on to the rocks by the falsification or extinction of the coast lights; the relentless murder of their crews; and with it all the ingrained religiosity of the Celtic population of that barren promontory.

Our laced style smocks will be worn all this week by some members of the Hertfordshire Players as they preform The Tempest at the Minack Theatre.
The very first of all the Shakespeare plays to be performed at the Minack in 1932.
We wish them and their sold out audience good weather and a fun time.

On a recent visit to Brittany it was good to see the tradition of smock wearing went back into Breton history too.
