British Millerain Co. Ltd., England — a supplier of performance textiles, including waterproof
fabrics and waxed cottons used in military and professional outerwear — has created a waxed cotton
with an easy-care finish. The new Driden finish is composed of a fully washable synthetic wax that
looks, feels and functions like the original. The finish, which is permanently infused into the
fabric, can be applied to a range of fabrics including synthetics and lighter-weight materials.
The new Driden is available in North America through Red Bank, N.J.-based Concept III
Textiles, a developer and producer of fabric-based finished products for the active sports and
outdoor markets.
