WASH & CAREDry clean only is recommended

 

Best quality dry oilskin made in the UK. 150 cm wide, 245 gsm.

The finish is drier and crisper than our other oilskins with a matte appearance. Hand wash only, do not iron just finger press. Unlike normal oilskin there would be no oil transfer so you don’t need to line your garment or bag. Ideal for bags and accessories and particularly fab for an outdoor Top 64 and Landgate top.

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. 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.

All our oilskins are sent folded unless otherwise requested. There is an additional charge for oilskin orders totaling less than 10m to be sent rolled. Please see our FAQ section for details.
