Free From Forever Chemicals

Forever chemicals, also known as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), are synthetic compounds commonly used in waterproofing that persist indefinitely in the environment.
While they're effective at repelling water, these chemicals accumulate in soil, water systems, and living organisms, causing long-term environmental damage and potential health risks.

Reproofable

This product can be reproofed using a suitable spray in order to make the product water resistant again and ensure it's longevity. We reccomend doing this every few months or after any particularly heavy downpours.

Water Resistant

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material.

FAQs

We use a combination of petroleum jelly and paraffin waxes that are bi-products of fuel production. By using these materials, we're helping to reduce waste while creating a durable, water-resistant finish.

While the wax coating does reduce breathability compared to untreated cotton, it still allows more air flow than many synthetic waterproof materials. The fabric maintains a good balance between weather protection and comfort.

Yes! Reproofing your garment is a simple process that can be done at home with our reproofing wax. This ability to maintain and restore the water-resistant properties makes waxed cotton a particularly sustainable choice.

Initially, some minimal wax transfer might occur, but this decreases with wear. We recommend storing waxed items separately from other garments, especially in warmer conditions.

Yes! Unlike synthetic waterproof materials that use PFCs (which persist in the environment), our waxes are fully biodegradable. The waxes we use are actually bi-products from fuel production, meaning we're utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste. Additionally, the application process has a low environmental impact compared to conventional waterproofing methods.

The duration depends on use and exposure to elements, but the unique advantage of waxed cotton is that it can be reproofed whenever needed. With proper care and regular reproofing, your waxed cotton garment can maintain its performance for many years.

While not completely waterproof like modern synthetic materials, waxed cotton provides excellent water resistance. It will keep you dry in most conditions and can be reproofed regularly to maintain its performance.

Waxed cotton is a traditional performance fabric made by treating cotton with a protective wax coating. The wax creates a water-repellent barrier while maintaining the natural properties of cotton. Think of it as nature's way of waterproofing – similar to how water beads off duck feathers.

Waxed cotton offers several unique advantages: it's biodegradable, repairable, ages beautifully with a unique patina, and can be maintained indefinitely through reproofing. Unlike synthetic materials that might end up in landfills when their waterproofing fails, waxed cotton gets better with age and proper care.
