It is no secret that we offer a wide selection of products here at Outback featuring a variety of different fabrics for their unique purposes. Have you ever wondered what the true difference is between our fabrics? Or wondered which one best suits your needs? Well, we are here to give you a breakdown of our fabrics to give you all the tools you need to find your perfect gear!
Our core fabrics offer something for everyone. From our waterproof oilskin to our lighter wax cotton, we have rain protection covered. Our Canyonland products give the wearer a rugged look while still being water resistant. Finally, our newest addition, top of the line 100% cotton canvas. This canvas is water resistant and made to be put to work. Let's take a deeper dive into each fabric.
When you think of Outback Trading Co, our duster coats are the first thing you think of, right? Many of our dusters are made of waterproof oilskin! Oilskin is made with an oil treated cotton base, making it waterproof and breathable. Oilskin is made to last years, even decades, because you can perform upkeep to maintain it's waterproof quality! This is where our Duck Back dressing comes into play. For a full guide on how to care for your oilskin, head to this blog post.
Next up we have our Wax Cotton, which is similar to our Oilskin being it is also waterproof and breathable. Our wax cotton is made of 100% cotton, and is a bit more light weight compared to oilskin, making it a great option for Spring and Fall rain showers! For your wax cotton garments, we recommend using our Duck Back Spray to reproof.
Next we have our Canyonland, which is an Outback original fabric! It is made 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. It is water resistant, and the best part is that it is machine washable! Canyonland is a great option for those who don't love the feel of Oilskin or just don't need that much waterproof coverage, as it is water resistant and gives a nice rugged look.
Finally, our newest addition is our top of the line 100% cotton canvas! Similar to Canyonland, it is both water resistant and machine washable, and is made to be put to work.
