What is an oilskin you ask? Designed out of necessity by sailors, who would treat their clothing with linseed, whale, or seal oil to weatherproof and waterproof their garments to stay dry and warm. Now, oilskins are 100% natural cotton trade with a mix of natural waxes and oils such as mink to maintain the waterproofing, giving them almost the texture of leather.
