Description

This waxed cotton fabric measures approximately 155cm wide and has a sturdy 295gsm weight, giving it a durable handle that works well for jackets, coats and everyday utility projects. With a classic olive green hue, the ultra-dry wax finish helps repel rain while remaining breathable, and it’s machine washable too, which makes it easier to care for than traditional waxed cotton. Finished in the UK by British Millerain, a name long associated with high quality waxed fabrics.

⚠️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.
