What is oilskin fabric

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.

Thermal Liner Options

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.

Oilskin Fabric Care

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.
