Oxford Fabrics for Outdoor Workwear

Polyester Oxford fabrics with water-repellent finishes and a firm handle - hard-wearing shells for outdoor jackets, overalls, bags and protective covers.

Oxford is a basketweave polyester with a firm, slightly ribbed surface, usually finished with a water-repellent coating — hard to tear and easy to wipe clean. This range holds 16 published articles from 52 to 400 g/m², all OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified, with EN ISO 20471 high-visibility versions available. The light end suits linings and packable rainwear; the heavy end suits outer shells, bags, tool pouches and protective covers exposed to daily abrasion in construction and logistics.
