Ventile aside, waxed cotton is probably the most iconic water-resistant heritage fabric. Brands like Barbour, Belstaff, Filson, and even the British Army have utilized this fabric in a timeless fashion, and it’s never really gone away.
We see stellar brands like Freenote Cloth, Ginew, and Rogue Territory deploying waxed canvas year in, year out. But what if you wanted to create your own custom waxed garment from the ground up? Well, as usual, when it comes to custom-made, SOSO has you covered. In this case, covered in paraffin wax.
SOSO are the kings of custom-made heritage goods, and they’ve just added waxed canvas to their roster of sexy fabrics. You can now from 3 colorways of waxed cotton canvas for your next tailor-made project. Go for a fully customized shirt, jacket, vest — even a pair of jeans or chinos — we trust whatever you cook up will look fantastic, and age even better, thanks to waxed cotton’s ability to produce a chalky, crinkly patina through hard wear.
