Description: Ivey Abitz original designs meet rugged and historically classic waxed cotton. We have been experimenting with waxed cotton behind the scenes for years, and we are so excited to have it for our Collection no. 64. It has been set aside for a select few of our coats, featured in our new Boulevard Duster Coat. When you order a coat in our Honour Waxed Cotton, it is fully lined in our Honour Cottage Garden Weave. The fabric begs for you to literally make your mark on it. As you wear it, you'll see creasing and scratches in the wax. This is normal, and this is what gives your waxed cotton coat its own original patina and charm. Wear your own story into your IA waxed cotton coat. May you spend many days outside and enjoy long walks whilst wearing it. Content: 100 percent cotton with natural wax waterproof and wind resistant coating. Three season weave. Care: This is an easy one, because it does not require regular washing. If scuffs or dirt get on the waxed cotton, simply wipe off with a wet cloth. Every year or so, if thoroughly washing the jacket is of the utmost importance to you, you'll need to re-proof, or re-wax your jacket. Easy peasy. Simply get some inexpensive fabric wax (Otter Wax Fabric Dressing is a good one, made in Portland, Oregon) and rub it back into the waxed cotton, paying extra attention to getting the wax in the seams. It really is that easy! And you will have a rugged waxed cotton outdoor coat from Ivey Abitz that you can enjoy for years and years to come.

Fabric Description

Description: Our delightfully printed, washed, and softened, our new Independence Cottage Garden Weave is symbolic. It represents the palette of the flowers found at the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site. Eleanor had a flower garden when she lived there, and park rangers continue its upkeep. Eleanor used to cut flowers from this garden and place them in vases through her home–especially in the guest rooms of guests. She always went out of her way to make people feel at home. This fabric is opaque with a wonderfully fluid drape. It has been set aside for bold coat linings paired with our Honour Waxed Cotton, a selection of our layering frocks, and a special choice for our sashes.

Content: 100 percent washed viscose (made from renewable soft wood pulp). Four season weave.

Care: Simply hand wash or put through machine delicate cycle in cold water with a plant based detergent. We suggest using a natural fabric softener to maintain the softness we have washed into it. Tumble dry on extra-low heat with our artisan wool dryer balls to keep the relaxed effect that is featured in the Look Book.
