Authentically made in Britain using over 40 years of experience in manufacturing wax jackets. Walker & Hawkes extensive experience ensures you are getting a garment made by experts – ensuring quality craftsmanship in every jacket. The use of waxed cotton has been around since the 15th century as a way for Scottish fishermen to waterproof their sails without affecting its efficiency. Back then, they used fish oils – different to the superior paraffin or natural beeswax based wax we use today. Leftover pieces of cloth were used as capes to keep the fishermen dry. This evidently worked well as waxed cotton is now a very popular fabric to use for jackets.
One of the reasons waxed jackets can last a lifetime is that you can restore your jacket using Waxed Cotton Dressing. Improving its longevity and waterproof capabilities – you’ll not need another jacket for a long time!
