Built for life on the land, the Styx Mill Gilet is crafted from our original brown oilskin wax — a tough, durable material known for performance and quality. Featuring a full front zip, external chest zip pocket, and a super-soft fur fleece liner, it delivers warmth and practicality in one. The drop-tail design keeps your back protected in cold weather, while the rugged look and feel make it a true workwear staple. Tough, functional, and built to last — just like those who wear it.
WHAT IS OILSKIN WAX?
Oilskin is a waterproof fabric that has been in use since the 1700’s, historically worn and developed by sailors. Originally methods included coating fabric in treatments like linseed oil, tar, whale oil or paint to achieve a higher waterproof and durability factor.
Today’s Oilskin is engineered to keep the wearer dry in rain and yet still be strong and breathable at the same time. Produced from 100% cotton that goes through a wax treatment process, modern oilskin is not only high performance for wet weather & cold, but also sought after for stylish casual clothing.
