Description
Bottle green waxed cotton drill with a clean, slightly dry handle that makes it far easier to work with than traditional oily waxed fabrics. Produced by British Millerain, this is a more wearable take on a classic.
The drill weave gives it strength and structure, while the wax finish provides reliable water resistance without that heavy, sticky feel you sometimes get. At around 400gsm, it has a proper weight and structure, making it ideal for jackets, coats, and hard-wearing outer layers. Despite this, the drier finish keeps it manageable to cut and sew, making it a practical option if you want the performance of waxed cotton without the usual handling issues.
It will soften slightly with use and develop natural creasing, giving it that worn-in look over time without becoming heavy or cumbersome.
If you’ve avoided waxed cotton before because it felt too greasy or stiff, this is a good place to start.
⚠️Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
The roll price is £30 for postage. However, if you’re happy for it to be folded please proceed as normal. By folding it will come with crease marks on the folds.

Care & washing
Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.
Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
