The real thing – best quality traditional oilskin made in the UK, finished to age and wear beautifully.
A classic oilskin tartan in tones of brown with a Silkwax finish. The Silkwax has a soft, slightly damp and oily handle with a matt appearance. Please note this oilskin is very waxy, but will become less so over time.
This fabric is water resistant, so this means that the water doesn’t completely run off it, but it won't come through to the other side either.
Ideal for bags and accessories and outdoor coats.
59 inches / 150cm wide
8.7oz /295gsm
100% BCI Cotton
Made in the UK
A blend of oils and petroleum-based waxes are impregnated into the fiber and saturates the cloth, so the performance relies on a traditional wax/water resist application.
Do not iron, just finger press.
Not washable but can be re-oiled.
Do not use any interfacing with this type of oilskin.
We recommend sewing with a denim needle and 100% poly thread.
