Waxed Cotton
Heritage Weatherproof Evolved
Rooted in maritime heritage, waxed cotton originated with British sailors who treated sailcloth to repel sea spray and biting winds. Today, this classic fabric has evolved into a lightweight yet durable material offering timeless British style and superior weather resistance. We collaborate with skilled UK-based weavers and wax specialists—some with over 150 years of experience—to develop three distinct waxed cottons: the traditional warm and insulating wax, the soft and supple Hybrid Aero Wax for a modern dry-touch finish, and Stay Wax Cotton, an easy-care, machine-washable version with no need for reproofing. All options deliver functionality, traceability, and enduring style for everyday wear in changing climates.
