Halley Stevensons Wax Heritage

Halley Stevensons has been producing premium waxed cotton and weatherproof fabrics since 1864, working from its historic Baltic Works mill in Dundee, Scotland. With over 150 years of expertise, the company continues to oversee every stage of production in-house, including dyeing, finishing, and waxing, ensuring the highest levels of quality and consistency.

Originally developed for sailcloth and fishermen’s garments, Halley Stevensons’ waxed cotton evolved into a durable, high-performance fabric that blends traditional methods with modern innovation. The company secured its first waterproofing patent in 1910 and remains at the forefront of textile engineering, crafting fabrics trusted worldwide for their reliability and timeless appeal.

Each piece of waxed cotton is designed for longevity and adaptability. The fabric is naturally weather-resistant yet breathable, softening and developing a distinctive character over time. With regular reproofing and proper care, a Halley Stevensons fabric can last for generations, making it a sustainable choice that combines heritage, performance, and style.
