Steel
Our new Steel colourway combines deep navy-grey waxed cotton with dark brown bridle leather and a flash of yellow at the zip and embroidered AC logo. Inspired by city streets and industrial tones, it’s strong, adaptable, and quietly stylish. The rich waxed cotton fabric shifts between dark grey and navy depending on the light, giving Steel its unique depth and edge—from the daily commute to weekends away.

Care
Care
This traditionally manufactured water resistant British Waxed Cotton fabric was originally developed for mariners from as early as the 15th Century. The Hybrid Aero waxed cotton is a robust Waxed Cotton with a water based finish applied. This gives the fabric a dry handle, with no transfer and can be cleaned with a damp sponge, so for many users it has the look and feel of a traditional wax but with far easier care and maintenance characteristics.
The performance of the fabric is equal to the traditional waxed cotton and the Aero finish gives the fabric a slightly worn/distressed look which adds to the character of the fabric.
The dyes used on these cotton fabrics are not as stable as on synthetics and some gradual fading can be expected from exposure to light.
Always allow the item to dry thoroughly after use, in a cool, airy environment. Never pack away damp. Beware of colour transfer from the leather on base onto lighter coloured clothing or fabrics and vice versa.
