Cotton Oilskin Antique

€27,10/metre
Out of Stock
Description

The real thing- best-quality traditional oilskin made in the UK, finished to age and wear beautifully.

A dark antique gold/brown shade. Ideal for bags and accessories, and particularly fab for an outdoor Top 64 and Landgate top.

  • 150cm wide.
  • 11.94oz, 405gsm.
  • Country of origin; UK.
  • BCI cotton.
  • A blend of oils and petroleum-based waxes is impregnated into the fibre and saturates the cloth, so the performance relies on a traditional wax/water resist application.
  • Any darker patches on the finish are a result of wax dripping off squeeze rollers during application; the marks go away quickly as soon as the fabric is worked.
  • 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.
  • As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
  • Thread match Gutermann Sew All 817.

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

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

  • Wash your fabric on its own for the first wash.
  • Sink your fabric  in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
  • If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
  • For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
  • If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
  • Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
