Rich, rugged and full of character, this dark brown sylkoil waxed cotton has the classic appearance associated with traditional country outerwear. Woven from 100% cotton and weighing 237gsm, it combines durability with a surprisingly supple handle. The sylkoil finish leaves the cotton unshorn, giving the surface a natural texture and a softer, less formal appearance than traditional waxed cotton fabrics.
As the fabric is worn and used, it develops the creases, marks and patina that make waxed cotton so distinctive. The deep dark brown shade lends itself perfectly to timeless jackets, practical overshirts and hard-wearing accessories that look better with age. Whether you're making a field jacket, a sturdy weekend bag or a weather-resistant coat, this cloth offers both practicality and heritage appeal in equal measure.
⚠️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.
