Description

This 150cm wide sylkoil waxed cotton comes in a deep earthy brown with the distinctive matt finish that has made this type of cloth a favourite for heritage outerwear. At 237gsm (approximately 6oz), it offers a lighter, more supple feel than heavier waxed cottons whilst still providing excellent protection from the elements. The unshorn cotton surface gives the fabric a natural appearance with subtle variation and character throughout.

Sylkoil develops a unique patina as it is worn, with creases and marks becoming part of the fabric's story rather than flaws. Its softer handle makes it particularly suitable for jackets, overshirts, gilets, bags and outdoor accessories where comfort is just as important as durability. A practical fabric with genuine heritage appeal, equally at home in the countryside or on the high street.

⚠️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.
