We use waxed cotton fabrics exclusively from Halley Stevensons Ltd., who for more than a century has produced exceptional weatherproof fabrics from their factory in Dundee, Scotland. Densely woven from fine, long-staple cotton, they are naturally durable and comfortable to wear. When treated with Halley’s proprietary wax, they provide superior weatherproofing protection from the elements. And they take on a unique appearance with wear and abuse in the elements, distinct to their owner.
Halley’s fabrics are, by their nature, inherently sustainable. The waxed compounds themselves are composed of natural and upcycled materials that are biodegradable. Unlike modern synthetic fabrics, the weatherproof performance of waxed cotton fabrics can be maintained indefinitely through simple reproofing treatments. And the reproofing process has an added benefit: it also preserves the integrity of the fabric indefinitely.
We are proud to partner with Halley Stevensons and build on their legacy of producing low-impact, sustainable fabrics with products that stand the test of time.
Our waxed canvas outerwear are acclaimed for their durability and the unique patina they develop through a lifetime of use and abuse.
Enduring waxed canvas bags to build a collection to last a lifetime.
