Quilted Antique Waxed Fabric is a high-quality waxed drill cotton fabric, 147cm wide and approximately 350gsm, finished with a traditional Antique Wax treatment. Unlike some waxed fabrics, this antique wax finish does not transfer wax onto hands, making it cleaner and more practical to work with while retaining the classic waxed appearance.

To add extra value and functionality, this fabric has been professionally box quilted, incorporating a 4oz wadding foam and a matching polyester lining. This creates a ready-quilted, pre-lined fabric, eliminating the need for additional lining in most projects and significantly reducing production time.

Fabric Specifications

What Is Antique Waxed Fabric?

Antique waxed fabric is a wax-impregnated cotton textile designed to provide weather resistance, durability, and a classic heritage look. The antique wax finish used in this fabric is dry to the touch, unlike traditional waxes that can feel sticky or transfer residue.

Important Note on Waterproofing

⚠ Please Note:
The quilting process affects the waterproofing of the top fabric. While the waxed cotton retains water-resistant properties, the needle perforations created during quilting mean this fabric should be considered water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
