Natural Clothing Waxes

The Otter Wax Water-Repellent Fabric Wax Makes Clothing Resist Moisture

— December 27, 2016 — Fashion
There are a number of products on the market that you can purchase waxed, but the Otter Wax Water-Repellent Fabric Wax enables users to upscale any piece of clothing at their discretion.

The wax is handmade in Portland, Oregon, and is free of silicone, synthetic ingredients and paraffin to ensure that it won't harm your clothing. The wax comes in bar form and works by being applied to jackets, clothing, shirts or shoes in order to make it inherently more durable and more resistant to repelling rain or other liquids. Being that it's made in rainy Portland, users can rest assured it's ready to withstand just about any inclement weather you can throw at it.

The Otter Wax Water-Repellent Fabric Wax can be used on a variety of clothing and accessories, and is made using only natural waxes and oils.
Trend Themes
1. Water-repellent Clothing - Opportunity for creating innovative clothing products that resist moisture.
2. Handmade Natural Products - Disruption potential in the market for products made with natural ingredients and free of synthetics.
3. DIY Clothing Upgrades - Opportunity for consumers to personalize and enhance the durability of their clothing using wax products.
Industry Implications
1. Apparel and Fashion - Potential for incorporating wax treatments in clothing manufacturing as a new selling point for consumers.
2. Outdoor Gear and Equipment - Disruption potential in the market for water-repellent products such as jackets, shoes, and accessories.
3. Eco-friendly Products - Opportunity to market natural and sustainable wax-based products as an alternative to conventional fabric treatments.
