Inspired by a 1910 patent for waterproofing textiles. It is treated with an emulsified wax which is heat-processed into the cloth for a longer lasting finish and higher performance. The finish is vegan.

This type of oilskin is water resistant, so this means that the water doesn’t completely run off it, but it won’t come through to the other side either.
