THE STORY OF WAXED COTTON

We took Ronnie Romance to Halley Stevensons in Dundee, Scotland, our trusted supplier of waxed cotton, to see where one of his favourite fabrics comes from. With roots at sea, waxed cotton was originally developed to protect sailors from wind and water. Since 1864, Halley Stevensons has continued to develop the craft, making rugged fabrics built for the elements and ones that only get better with age.

We joined friend in the field @andreaadeler on a still October morning in Nordmarka, Oslo. Our local playground. Andrea grew up on skis and in kayaks. As a child, she could stand upright in a racing kayak, a feat of balance most of us never acquire. This morning, she traded the narrow racing hull for a broad wooden canoe. We paddled without much purpose, which was rather the point.

“My role. I try to do as much as possible, but I think it’s best I do as little as possible. That’s really my role.” — Morgan Schwarz, out in the field with the Karelian Bear Dog Sita and his girlfriend, Nike Adawi. “Whatever you do in life, you have to do it with a feeling (känsla).”

The Story of Waxed Cotton • Halley Stevensons

“It’s something that gets better with age.”
- @ultraromance 
 
For more than 160 years, @halleystevensons has been making weatherproof fabrics in Dundee, Scotland. What started with fabrics developed for life at sea has evolved into the waxed cotton we know today. A fabric made to be used, developing its own patina along the way.
 
Follow the process, step by step.

01 • The Cotton

It begins with tightly woven cotton, selected for its strength, durability and natural feel. Its dense construction provides the foundation for the wax finish while allowing the character of the cloth to remain.
The scale is striking. Rolls passing through the factory can contain 2,500 to 3,000 metres of fabric at a time before being divided into smaller lengths for manufacturers.

02 • Singeing

Before the wax ever touches the cotton, the cloth passes quickly over an open flame in a process known as singeing.
The flame burns away loose fibres and surface fuzz, leaving a cleaner, smoother surface for the stages ahead. It happens in seconds, but it is one of the many small details that determine how evenly the finished cloth will take its treatment.

03 • Dyeing & Preparation

The cotton is dyed to achieve its base colour and prepared for finishing. The aim is to create an even cloth that will accept the wax consistently while retaining its natural texture.
There is more science involved than Ronnie expected. Dye recipes are developed in the laboratory, while salt and other treatments help the colour penetrate the cotton fibres evenly.
By the time the cloth reaches the waxing machines, its colour, surface and construction have all been carefully prepared.

04 • The Wax

Then comes the part Ronnie is most fascinated by. The cloth is warmed over large heated rollers before passing through hot wax. Standing beside the machinery, Ronnie compares the heat to being in a sauna.
There is no single recipe for waxed cotton. Halley Stevensons uses different wax formulations depending on the weight, intended use and desired character of the finished cloth. Different treatments can produce different levels of softness, sheen and texture while adding p

Canada N°4 • Camp & Canoe Life 

Morning light slowly broke through the fog as we got the fire going, coffee boiling and some fresh Canadian bacon sizzling in the pan. After taking the canoes down the stream, flipping them twice and getting all our clothes wet, we packed up camp and started heading south. 

The quest was simple: make our way back to Yellowknife, around 30 kilometres south of our camp. We headed down Bluefish Lake, trolling our fishing lines behind the smoothly moving canoes and crossing our fingers for a fresh lunch.
