Discover the Legacy of the Ranger Waxed Canvas Jacket

The story of waxed canvas dates back to the mid-1800s. Inspired by sailors who waterproofed their ponchos by rubbing linseed oil into scraps of ruined sails, a Scottish mill adapted this technique. They began using cotton impregnated with linseed oil, creating a durable and water-resistant fabric.

Post-World War II, waxed cotton became the material of choice for heavy-duty rainwear, favored by farmers, gamekeepers, and motorcyclists alike. Traditionally available in black or dark olive, this material has withstood the test of time.

Lastwolf® brings this historic innovation back to life with our new Ranger Waxed Canvas Work Jacket. Designed to meet modern outdoor needs while honoring its heritage, this waterproof jacket is perfect for both rugged work and casual woodland strolls.
