Re: Waxed Cotton: Yay or Nay?

Never heard of waxed cotton.  I'd have to see and touch it.

Well, if you ever make the terrible mistake of posting something to the "wrong" forum, you'll find out it can be a major bone of contention for some posters!   Welcome to the boards, wishmoon!

I think it depends on the piece and am seeing it pop up on my favorite investment denim jean brands like AG, 7 and J Brand for fall/winter.  It has a look of leather, less expensive and definitely not as heavy.  Can be nice alternative if you live in cold climate.  Eileen Fisher jackets nice. Woman Happy8884908_fpx (1).jpg 10501264_2535463_1000.jpg

I really don't care for the maintenance of a waxed item.  

 

Very labor intensive and time consuming.

Re: Waxed Cotton: Yay or Nay?

if the quality is good, it looks really nice. if not, it feels and looks cheap. i have 2 pairs of skinny jeans in waxed cotton and they both look great. i wear them in the cooler months though. not because they're a warm fabric, but because they look good with sweaters and leather jackets.

@MacDUFF Thanks so much! And yes, I've seen the bare bones left after some have chewed on them awhile. Smiley Happy
