The Ripstop Waxed cotton (oilskin) is tear resistant, very durable and it ages beautifully with aesthetically pleasing creases and color permutations. This light. to medium weight waxed cotton has a structured drape with ripstop texture, 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. Show more
