Waxed cotton fabric in a rich dark brown chestnut shade with a classic, understated look. The colour has depth without being too heavy, making it a practical option for everyday outerwear and accessories.
At 12oz (approx. 400gsm), this is a substantial fabric with a firm structure, well suited to jackets, coats and hard-wearing projects. The waxed finish provides reliable water resistance while remaining breathable, helping garments perform well in changeable conditions. It cuts cleanly, sews well, and will develop natural creases and character over time, giving it that worn-in look waxed cotton is known for.
⚠️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.
