Description

Deep slate grey waxed cotton with a rugged feel and a proper workwear look.

This cotton drill fabric measures around 155cm wide and weighs approximately 295gsm, giving it a sturdy handle that’s ideal for practical sewing projects. The ultra-dry wax finish helps repel rain while remaining breathable, and unlike traditional waxed cotton it’s machine washable too. Great for jackets, coats, bags or hard-wearing everyday garments that need a bit of weather resistance.

Finished in the UK by The British Millerain Co

⚠️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.
