WAXED COTTON: SCOTTISH HERITAGE

DEVELOPED BY SAILORS 

The concept of waxed cotton was originally developed in the early 15th century by Scottish herring fishermen - both our suppliers of waxed cotton; Halley Stevenson’s of Scotland (est. 1864) and British Millerain of England (est. 1880), have pioneered the modern development of the traditional material. 

The beauty of waxed cotton is in both its durability and longevity, as well as its surprising breathability – with the wax proofing adjusting to ambient temperature, maximizing comfort for the wearer. Its coating can be maintained by the end user by re-applying wax to the surface, keeping the material soft, supple, and weather-resistant.

There is a story behind each imperfection. We believe clothing is meant to serve you, not vice versa – so, don’t be cautious or hold back, each Amundsen piece has been put to the test and is ready for whatever you throw at it.
