SilkWax Waxed Cotton Fabric in Wine, 150cm Wide

SilkWax waxed cotton fabric is made from 100% cotton and finished with a traditional wax treatment that keeps the weave breathable while making it genuinely waterproof, rather than simply water resistant. Manufactured here in the UK, the canvas has the familiar dry, slightly waxy hand feel associated with heritage outerwear fabrics, alongside a deep wine colourway that suits both classic jackets and more rugged outdoor kit. At 150cm wide, it gives makers a practical working width for garments and larger cover projects alike.

Because the wax treatment sheds water while still allowing the cotton underneath to breathe, this fabric performs well for jackets and outerwear as well as tents, boat covers, car covers and bicycle covers that need to stand up to the elements over time. It suits makers producing waxed jackets, coats and country style outerwear, and equally anyone sewing protective covers for vehicles or outdoor equipment. At £6.95 per metre, it offers a genuinely functional waterproof cotton at a fair working price for hobby and small batch production alike.
