DESCRIPTION

Waxed cotton is the original performance fabric. This cotton which has been treated with a wax coating to produce a fabric with has water repellent properties. Waxed garments can be regularly reproofed to maintain performance for many years, making them uniquely sustainable. This wax is a bi-product from cracking crude oil to make fuels such as gasoline, meaning we make use of the waste product of this process. The processes used to apply the waxes to a cotton fabric are also low impact, meaning we do less damage to the environment than many established manufacturing methods. Our wax is fully biodegradable, as PFC’s are extremely persistent in the environment, and free from fluorocarbons.
