The ultimate hardwearing classic outerwear. Buy from our New Zealand made range of Sleeveless Vests, Oilskin Jackets or oilskin garments for your Pets & Working Dogs.
Oilskin is a waterproof fabric dating back to the 1700s, originally developed by sailors who dipped sails in oil to make waterproof clothing. These days, the cotton cloth undergoes a wax treatment creating a tough, durable material that resists water and lasts the distance.
Our oilskin garments are lined with either a natural luxurious wool shearling in black and white, a black thermal polyester fur pile, polarfleece or a distinctive checkered wool blend in multiple colours. Each option ensuring warmth and comfort for when you’re out there facing the elements.
Styx Mill makes all products in Christchurch, New Zealand. Known for its English heritage, Christchurch is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island and has direct flights to Australia, Singapore, the Pacific Islands and the United States. A manufacturing city of around 400,000 people, it has been the birthplace of many international sewing brands and companies over the years.
To care for your oilskin garment and preserve its waterproofing, gently wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Hand wash with mild detergent and cold water, then hang to dry. We recommend using the oilskin reproof to maintain the water resistant properties of your garment.
Sewing machinists are highly skilled craftspeople and take the time to meticulously perfect your garment.
