Availability: InStock

£185.00

You’re under a vest! Well, you should be! The Wax n Wool is your year round layering hack for extra warmth. Under your jacket in winter, thrown atop a t-shirt on a summer’s eve. Versatile, British weather ready and packed with made-right-here provenance that will leave you waxing lyrical to everyone who compliments your HebTroCo getup.

Made in Great Yarmouth with cloth from Dundee, quilted in Bolton with British wool insulation.

Halley Stevensons are our source once again for this vest’s fantastic waxed cotton outer. It’s a plant-based wax, not wax derived from petroleum or beeswax. Halleys are using olive oil, reclaimed from food waste, as the base for this finish.

Highly weather resistant and re-proofable. On the first few wears it will feel oily to touch but will develop a soft feel and slightly brushed appearance that catches the light like a peach! It’s one of the best wax finishes we’ve ever seen.

Cosy quilted 100% cotton tartan lining, quilted by Caledonian Quilting in Bolton with HD Wool insulation from British sheep.

100% organic combed cotton ribbed collar knitted in Leicestershire.

Proper British insulation

We’ve always focussed on working locally and using the best quality natural materials. With this in mind we’ve avoided synthetic insulation or goose down, opting instead for a locally sourced wool and corn starch-derived PLA insulation, called HD Wool, which comes from Saltaire in Yorkshire.

It’s completely biodegradable, naturally warm, breathable and odour inhibiting. The wool is sourced from exclusively British farms and is Woolkeepers® certified.

Snapped up my second wax n wool vest, wore it straight away as an extra layer on a usual four seasons scottish afternoon! Absolutely chuffed with the quality and warmth of both vests. Can’t wait to see a third version.
