The waxed canvas anorak
The next batch is in production and will be available in April 2024. Sign up for email announcements or follow the socials.
The waxed canvas anorak is made in Eldorado, Australia from Australian made materials.
It is designed for maximum versatility, durability, simplicity and freedom of movement. Side zips run the full length of each side, allowing the anorak to be opened up to vent, make a poncho, cape or a ground sheet. Kangaroo leather is placed on the sleeve cuff and hand pocket edges to protect these high wear areas.
As with all Peak Oil Company products, the anorak does not use plastics or fluorocarbons. It is made from waxed cotton canvas, brass YKK zippers and tagua nut slot buttons.
You can treat the anorak with a beeswax based fabric wax. Wax the anorak once a year, allow the wax to thin as the season progresses to warmer and drier months. Re-wax it in time for the next wet season.
