Description

Rich, deep and rather gorgeous, this British cotton cloth sits somewhere between cherry and claret red, with the waxed surface adding extra depth as the light catches it. Made from 100% cotton, it has that unmistakable substantial waxed handle, with a water-resistant finish that makes it as practical as it is good looking. At around 303gsm / 9oz, there’s plenty of body without it becoming excessively heavy.

This is waxed cotton with considerably more attitude than the usual olive, navy and brown. The weight is spot on for country jackets, field coats, gilets, utility jackets, bags, aprons and outdoor accessories, while the unusual red would make a cracking statement coat. Over time, the waxed surface will naturally mark and develop character with wear, which is all part of its appeal. Practical, rugged and, dare we say it, actually rather sexy for a waxed cotton.

⚠️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.
