Merchant & Mills - Organic Cotton - Expedition Weight Dry Oilskin - Olive slow fashion Author and maker Katie EllenBest quality heavyweight dry oilskin made in the UK. Organic cotton 61" wide 13. 7oz, 464gsm This type of oilskin is water resistant, so this means that the water doesnt completely run off it, but it won't come through to the other side either. This material can be washed by hand, but it would need re proofing and the surface does change, so it is best to avoid any washing if you can. Cool iron or fingerpress. Not compatible with interfacing.
