Anything waterproof is going to be either leather or polyester. There’s no getting around it today.

Waxed cotton?

Never seen anything made out of that in the shop. How expensive is it? And what do we think about this?

> Waxed cotton came in either black, or an inconsistent dark olive. Colour was controlled by the amount of copper left from the cupro-ammonia treatment.

that’s pretty interesting, didn’t realize that was used for some outdoor gear!

It reminds me of this cling-wrap alternative i use in the kitchen: https://www.beeswrap.com/

I do have a couple of those. They’re terrible to wash.

Switched to this kind of stuff instead https://www.dm.de/profissimo-frischhaltehauben-aus-silikon-p... + normal cotton towels and paper for everything else.

yes they are. i use them more for covering bowls, etc. They don’t get as messy that way.

This looks great for wrapping avocados, cucumbers, etc. Thanks for the tip!

Boiled wool is pretty water resistant, that’s usually what wool coats are made of.
