Light Waxed Cotton

Waxed cotton (oilskin) is tear resistant, very durable and it ages beautifully with aesthetically pleasing creases and color permutations. This light waxed cotton has a lightly structured drape which will soften up once worn and used.
Waxed cotton is ideal for outdoor clothing and gear, such as jackets, hats and bags. If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly they will last for years and years.

If they loose the ability to resist water over time, it is possible to reapply a layer of wax by following the instructions of a paraffin wax product suitable for re-proofing.

Please note that some oil transfer can occur from the fabric to other fabrics and materials. This will be less as it dries out over time when aired and used, but we recommend to use a proper lining such as a tightly woven poplin, quilting fabric or
broadcloth.

When you receive your waxed cotton from us it will have marks from folding. These will even out as you start working with it. We recommend to unfold it and hang/lay it as flat as possible to avoid the marks becoming more permanent.
