waxed cotton
Treated outdoor cloth
Waxed cotton is fabric treated with a waxy coating to make it water-resistant.
The treatment gives the material a distinctive slightly stiff texture and muted sheen.
Popular for outdoor jackets, bags, and work gear, it's associated with British heritage brands and rural wear: a waxed cotton field jacket.
The finish wears distinctively over time, developing creases and a patina.
