Raincoat Fabric

Planning to make your own raincoat, mac or outdoor jacket? Explore our collection of raincoat and outerwear fabrics, including waxed cotton, oilskin, coated cotton, showerproof cotton, gabardine and lightweight puffer fabrics.

Whether you're sewing a classic trench coat, a practical everyday mac, a lightweight rain jacket or a cosy padded coat, you'll find fabrics suited to a range of handmade outerwear projects. Choose from traditional waxed cottons with their distinctive characterful finish, cotton poplins with a protective coated reverse, densely woven showerproof cottons, and fabrics ideal for the outer shell of puffer jackets.

We've brought together a mix of finishes, weights and textures, including British-made and ex-designer deadstock fabrics. Some offer water-resistant or showerproof properties, while others are better suited to structured jackets and general outerwear. Check individual product descriptions for details of each fabric's finish, handle and care requirements.
