The Tantallon Jacket
Waxed Cotton Outerwear, Reimagined for Modern Weather
The Tantallon Jacket is a contemporary take on a British icon. Built from premium waxed cotton and shaped with a clean, modern silhouette, it brings heritage weatherproofing into a refined, everyday form. Inspired by the exposed headland of Tantallon, East Lothian — where wind, rain, and sea spray meet — it’s designed for real weather, real movement, and years of wear.
Purposeful by design
The Tantallon Jacket is made for those who want the character of waxed cotton without the heaviness or clutter of traditional styles. Every line is intentional, every detail reduced to what’s essential.
It’s a jacket that feels grounded in British heritage but executed with modern precision, a great looking jacket.

Why Waxed Cotton?
BUILT TO LAST
The beauty of waxed cotton is its durability and longevity it is built to last. The densely woven cotton is strong and reliable and unlike many alternatives, can be maintained by the end user
SUSTAINABLE
Responsibly sourced cotton and low impact manufacturing make our waxed cotton a sustainable choice. Garments can be proofed to keep up performance and protection levels, ensuring they last for many years.
ADAPTIVE BY NATURE
The fabrics are naturally breathable. The wax adjusts to ambient temperature, becoming softer/more breathable in warm weather and stiffer/more wind proof in cold conditions.
UNIQUE CHARACTER
The various finishes ensure that garments look better with age. The wax naturally picks up marks and creases through use, which adds to the character of the fabric itself.

About waxed cotton
Waxed cotton — the original performance fabric — is cotton which has been treated with a wax coating to produce a fabric which has water repellent properties. These waxes can be made from a number of sources — from paraffin and petroleum to natural waxes and innovative hybrid blends.
Waxes and oils are naturally occurring substances found in leaves, bean/seed coverings, animal furs and feathers. It is natures protection against the elements.
Waxed garments can be regularly reproofed to maintain performance for many years, making them uniquely sustainable. Many synthetic man-made fabrics end up in land fill once performance levels cannot be maintained through delamination.
