merchant&mills | dry organic cotton oilskin | storm

Imagine: a fresh rain shower, crisp air – and a fabric that stays dry. Our Storm Dry Oilskin is the minimalist answer to wet-green days: matte, crisp, and absolutely drama-free. Very British. Extremely solid. For those who love outdoor with understatement.

Storm presents itself in a soft aqua green that whispers rather than shouts. The dry wax coating feels "dry" – no stickiness, no oily sheen, just a firm, matte surface. Weighing approx. 7.2 oz / 245 g/m² (150 cm wide), the fabric is light enough for sewing, sturdy enough for life. Waterproof? Yes, but gentle: drops bead off but do not penetrate. And: no oil transfer = no need for lining.
