LET'S TALK ABOUT MATERIALS! BRITISH MILLERAIN / ASCONA WX: waxed fabrics protect you!

We're taking you to the English countryside to talk about the benefits of these ancestral yet incredibly contemporary materials: waxed cottons.

You may know them through English brands, well known for their iconic jackets: BELSTAFF for motorcycling, and BARBOUR for outdoor activities.

You will discover these waxed cottons at work in some of our creations, modernized thanks to techniques that no longer allow that oily feel that was bothersome to appear.

So what exactly is the WAX ​​treatment?

Wax fabric is a fabric whose cotton threads have been soaked in a paraffin-based oil. While history tells us that this process was practiced as early as the mid-19th century, its golden age was truly the 1950s. At that time, the textile industry began to fully utilize its waterproof properties, particularly in the field of boating. Traditionally, it is therefore used for outerwear that needs to keep the body dry. It has a slightly shiny appearance. Hunting and many outdoor professional activities are also among the preferred uses for waxed cotton clothing.

More recently, by blending cotton fibers with polyester fibers, BRITISH MILLERAIN has improved the waterproof, resistant and aesthetic qualities of its textile creations.

Lovers of authenticity and robustness, look no further, waxed fabrics are made for you!
