We're thrilled to be back at the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland this week! Stop by booth 539 in the main hall to discover the world of waxed cotton. Wax has been used for centuries to weatherproof cotton canvas for outerwear. British Millerain pioneered the development of modern-day waxed fabric, taking it from the high-seas to high fashion. This timeless textile has only grown in popularity over the decades, thanks to its distinctive aesthetic appeal and exceptional performance attributes. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular, particularly in the USA, having being worn by the fictional Dutton family and stars of the hit show Yellowstone. Since our first USA patent in 1893 for weatherproofing cotton, we have continued to manufacture in the UK and export to the USA's most prestigious outerwear brands. #waxedcotton - Built to last, rugged, durable, and dependable. #textiles #outerwear info@britishmillerain.com

Take a look at this remarkable certificate from our archives! Archibald Miller's pioneering spirit led to the advancement of British Millerain textile manufacturing processes and techniques, after completing his Inorganic Chemistry qualification in London in 1894. Further degrees in machine construction and theoretical mechanics followed and led to the expansion of our finishing capabilities. Our commitment to manufacturing and chemistry innovation has been integral to our identity for over a century, and remains just as crucial today and in the future. We will continue to collaborate with the incredible range of brands we work with, our customers, and together we are dedicated to bringing new and inspiring textiles to the apparel market, helping to shape the future of outerwear. info@britishmillerain.com www.britishmillerain.com #textileinnovation #heritage
