Deep slate grey waxed cotton with a rugged feel and a proper workwear look.
This cotton drill fabric measures around 155cm wide and weighs approximately 295gsm, giving it a sturdy handle that’s ideal for practical sewing projects. The ultra-dry wax finish helps repel rain while remaining breathable, and unlike traditional waxed cotton it’s machine washable too. Great for jackets, coats, bags or hard-wearing everyday garments that need a bit of weather resistance.
Finished in the UK by The British Millerain Co
