Fabric comes first for us at Wax. And a new season means an assortment of exciting fabrications have graced our latest collection. Of course, we have the staples you would expect to see in an autumn and winter collection: wool, organic cotton, denim and corduroy, for example. But we also have a few new fabrics that will tickle your fancy.
To help you create a fool-proof wardrobe for the season ahead, we've created a comprehensive guide to some of the most exciting fabrications from our AW24 collection. We love them - here are the reasons you will love them, too.
Textured Organic Cotton
At this point, textured organic cotton tees are a staple of Wax’s lineup, but they’re so good that we had to mention them here. Our exclusive textured 280g organic jersey has a premium weight and feels super soft against the skin, making it perfect for layering. Its unique texture adds more visual interest than your cookie-cutter t-shirt, too. It fires on all cylinders. We love it so much that we've used it across our range - from our staple plain Dean tees to our striped long-sleeve Peak t-shirts. We guarantee you will adore it as much as we do.
Seersucker Cordoruy
Think of it as corduroy's cooler, more laid-back cousin - seersucker corduroy is perfect for autumn and winter. It combines the textured ridges of classic cord with a subtle puckered finish, giving you a unique blend of structure and style. It offers the warmth and durability you expect from corduroy, but with added breathability and a lighter feel - it's the ideal layering piece (you will read that a lot). Plus, those ridges add a touch of distinction and depth to your outfit, even on the dreariest days. If you're looking for something new this season, our Shelly shirt in seersucker corduroy is the piece for you.
Mohair-Wool Blend
Now this is the good stuff. A mohair-wool blend is the ultimate autumn and winter game-changer. Mohair adds a luxurious softness and sheen, while wool brings durability and insulation to the table. It offers ultimate warmth without feeling weighed down. The unique texture not only looks sophisticated but also fights off the chill. Our Wilde stripe jumpers and Alban cardigan offer the fuzzy goodness that only mohair can provide. You'll look like Kurt Cobain and feel like Paddington Bear - and who doesn't want that?
Bouclé
Bouclé is the seasonal secret weapon. It’s super cosy - like wearing a hug from your plump pal. Its looped yarns give it that distinctive, nubby look that adds texture to your outfit. But it’s not just about appearances; bouclé brings serious warmth without feeling heavy, making it perfect for when the temperature drops and you start adding layers. Plus, with bouclé, wrinkles are a non-issue, so you'll always look your best, even when time is against you. Consider our bouclé Mount overshirt and Tor cardigan as the first line of defence against the cold this season.
Fleece
Another autumn and winter staple. We could go on and on about why we love fleece - but here’s the skinny: it’s soft, lightweight, and insanely warm. Fleece traps heat while still letting your skin breathe, so you stay toasty without overheating - because no one wants that when stuck on a packed tube. And like bouclé, it’s practically immune to wrinkles. Our aptly named Cozi fleece jacket in our distinct squiggle design will be your best friend all season long. Whether you’re braving the elements or just pretending to be the outdoorsy type, the Cozi has your back.
Water-Repellent Nylon
No one’s got time to get soaked. And at this time of year, your chances of that increase dramatically. Water-repellent nylon keeps the rain where it belongs - away from you. Lightweight and breathable, it shields you from the elements without making you look like you’re cosplaying as a bag for life. The best part? It dries fast, so even if you're unexpectedly caught in a downpour, you will be looking your best in no time. Durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance, our water-repellent Skye quilted gilet and Malvern bomber jacket are equipped for whatever nature throws your way.
Lamb Leather
A first for Wax, the Kendall jacket is our foray into leather. Lamb leather is soft, luxurious, and tougher than it looks. Lightweight yet durable, lamb leather provides super supple comfort but remains rugged enough to handle the elements - perfect for autumn and winter, we’d say. Plus, it ages like fine wine - developing unique characteristics with every wear. What does that mean for you? Well, it’s a piece that will truly become your own. Consider the Kendall jacket your all-weather armour for this season and beyond.
Jacquard Quilt
Jacquard quilt is the perfect mix of texture and warmth. This fabric isn’t just about looks (though it’s got plenty of that), it's also lightly padded to keep you cosy without adding bulk to your outfit. Our petal jacquard design adds texture and stylish structure, while its unique weave gives you durability and comfort for everyday wear. It’s luxurious and practical - the best of both worlds. That's why we designed the Lomond overshirt to be a do-it-all item that can be worn as an overshirt, as a layering piece or as the final addition to your outfit - because your clothes should work as hard as you do.
