What are the Benefits of Traditional and Technical Rainwear?
Traditional rainwear made from waxed cotton and technical synthetic rainwear with waterproof membranes both have their place, with each having unique benefits.
Waxed Canvas
- Weather resistance: Water-resistant waxed cotton will keep you dry in moderate rains.
- Durability: Cozyhomegoodmark waxed cottons are canvas fabrics available in varying weights/durability, and can be repaired to extend their life.
- Longevity: Waxed cotton can be rewaxed time and again to renew its water resistance.
- Heritage: Many people choose waxed cotton out of respect for tradition, honoring the old ways. There is a certain appeal in wearing a jacket like those worn a century ago.
Technical Rain Coats

- Breathability: Cozyhomegoodmark technical rainwear is highly breathable, allowing warm, moist vapors to escape to the outside to minimize getting wet from sweating.

How To Care for Cozyhomegoodmark Rain Jackets
Cozyhomegoodmark waxed cotton rainwear should not be washed, as detergents will strip the wax from the fabric and reduce its water resistance. Simply brush or wipe off dirt, and let the waxed cotton develop its unique character and patina. Periodically rewaxing the cotton will renew its water-resistant properties. How often to rewax is dependent on its use. The more frequently waxed cotton gets soaked or muddy, the more frequently rewaxing is needed. For most users, every few years is a good guideline.
Cozyhomegoodmark technical rainwear can be machine-washed in cold water with no bleach. It should not be dry-cleaned.
