Merchant & Mills : Grey Oilskin : Organic Cotton
Battleship grey. Ideal for bags and accessories. Organic Dry Oilskin is water resistant, meaning water will not come through to the other side of your garment or bag. Do not wash this fabric. The real thing - best quality traditional oilskin made in the UK, finished to age and wear beautifully. It has a firm handle and this fabric will give a distressed worn appearance when handled giving it a fast-tracked unique vintage aesthetic.
- A blend of oils and petroleum-based waxes are impregnated into the fiber and saturates the cloth, so the performance relies on a traditional wax/water resist application.
- Do not iron, just finger press.
- Not washable but can be re-oiled.
- Do not use any interfacing with this type of oilskin.
- We recommend sewing with a denim needle and 100% poly thread.
