Otter Wax - Tool for Applying Wax to Waxed Canvas

Made from sustainably harvested tree wood

Otter Wax

Back in the early 2010's our founder, Chris Chase, was struggling to find a natural wax product to protect his favorite Filson rain jacket, an essential piece of outdoor gear that can last generations with the proper care.

While a few fabric waxes could be found, they all contained animal fats, petroleum distillates, mineral oil, or chemical preservatives. These ingredients contradicted Chris' love for outdoor activities and it seemed absurd to use these environmentally harmful ingredients on a jacket designed for those who love getting out into nature.

While the product hunt could be considered a failure, it was also the catalyst for what would soon morph into an obsession with formulating and making what would become the very best all-natural fabric wax.

Rubbing the bar back and forth creates the perfect amount of heat to loosen wax and spread evenly into the top layer of fabric. Works best with natural fabrics, but can also be used on blends when natural fabrics are in the majority.

Using Otter Wax is an easy way to improve the functionality and utility of virtually any item. It can be used to revive the waterproofing capabilities of factory-waxed or oiled clothing, and is also an excellent way to waterproof untreated fabrics. Use on a variety of clothing and equipment like jackets, hats, bags, tents, and more.
