Oilskin
Oilskin was originally created by sailors who soaked canvas sail cloth in oil to make water repellent fabric for foul-weather gear. The idea quickly spread to both the cattlemen of the Australian Outback and American cowboys who needed hats and coats though enough to withstand the element.
Today's oilskin combines cotton fabric with a blend of waxes and oils to provide the ultimate protection from rain, wind and dust. Time tested under nature's harshest conditions, genuine oilskin is the only choice for rugged looks, wearability and all weather protection.
