Sherriff S28 Countryman Hood and Smock

Avoid front zippers altogether with the Sherriff S28 Countryman, a durable waist-length beekeeping smock designed to slip directly over the head.

Made in England by B. J. Sherriff, this distinctive protective garment is popular with commercial beekeepers who value a simple dressing system and robust construction.

Slip On and Start Working

Instead of opening a full front zipper, the entire smock and hood are pulled over the head. This removes one of the main fastening systems found on traditional beekeeper jackets.

Once in place, an elasticated waist with adjustment toggles helps secure the lower edge.

Practical Countryman Features

The S28 includes:

• Cotton/polyester protective fabric
• Waist-length smock construction
• Slip-over-head design
• Elastic wrist cuffs
• Thumb loops
• Adjustable elastic waist
• Three front pockets
• Velcro pocket closures
• Sherriff ClearView veil
• Zipper within the veil for throw-back access
• Replaceable hood and veil
• Made in England

The garment body can be machine washed, while the hood should be washed by hand.

Buying Options

The product is sold as one complete S28 Countryman smock with hood in the selected Sherriff size.

The live page provides size variations, although the complete current size list is not exposed in the accessible product text. Check the size selector before ordering or contact Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies for current availability.

Designed for Long-Term Use

Replacement hood and veil components are available, allowing a damaged head section to be renewed without replacing the whole smock.

This makes the Countryman particularly useful for frequent beekeepers who want serviceable protective clothing rather than a disposable garment.

Three Front Storage Pockets

The front pockets provide convenient space for small equipment such as a hive tool, notes or personal items. Velcro closures help prevent contents from falling out as the beekeeper bends over hive boxes.

Pair the smock with suitable trousers or overalls, gloves and enclosed footwear. No protective garment can guarantee complete protection against every sting.
