Light Waxed Cotton - Camel

Composition 100% Cotton
Width 145 cm
Weight 330 g/m2
Fabric type Waxed cotton
Stretch No stretch
Item number TX182-32

Waxed cotton (oilskin) is tear resistant, very durable and it ages beautifully with aesthetically pleasing creases and color permutations. This light waxed cotton has a lightly structured drape which will soften up once worn and used.
Waxed cotton is ideal for outdoor clothing and gear, such as jackets, hats and bags. If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly they will last for years and years.

If they loose the ability to resist water over time, it is possible to reapply a layer of wax by following the instructions of a paraffin wax product suitable for re-proofing.

Please note that some oil transfer can occur from the fabric to other fabrics and materials. This will be less as it dries out over time when aired and used, but we recommend to use a proper lining such as a tightly woven poplin, quilting fabric or
broadcloth.

When you receive your waxed cotton from us it will have marks from folding. These will even out as you start working with it. We recommend to unfold it and hang/lay it as flat as possible to avoid the marks becoming more permanent.

WASH AND CARE

Waxed cotton does not require a lot of special care as long as you keep in mind to:

  • not wash it with warm water (it will release the wax)
  • never to use soap on it
  • keep it away from the washing machine and only do gentle spot cleaning with a soft brush and cold water
  • do not iron or blow dry (it will release the wax)
  • embrace the patina and allow it to age
FIBER AND MATERIAL INFO

This waxed cotton (oilskin) is made with paraffin wax derived from petroleum (a bi-product from crude oil distillation) which has been used for decades to make waxed cotton, also known as oilskin.
When applying paraffin wax to cotton cloth and allowing it to saturate the cloth, it becomes water resistant, while still preserving some ability to breathe and the natural look of cotton.

If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly they will last for years and years.
If they loose the ability to resist water over time, it is possible to reapply a layer of wax by following the instructions of a paraffin wax product suitable for re-proofing.

Please note that some oil transfer can occur from the waxed cotton to other fabrics and materials. Therefore we strongly recommend to store the rolls separately from other fabrics, and to wrap them individually for your customers. This will be less as it dries out over time when aired and used.

BRAND INFO

The vision of mind the MAKER is to design and produce fabric with care.
Fabric must be thought of as more than a fast consumer product. It should be thought of as product you buy and use with the people who made it, the environment, yourself and the overall imprint throughout the product life cycle in mind.

The collections are based on responsibly produced fibers such as GOTS® certified organic cotton and ECOVERO ™ Viscose, and range from from basic collections to more special weaves and knitted qualities, as well as printed collections.

The color scale is designed to match across all collections and qualities, which makes it easy, for example, to find matching rib for a sweater or fabric for trousers to match a viscose shirt.
