Fabric note: This lovely American-made 60/40 is back by popular demand. What’s the difference between 65/35 and 60/40? First off, the 65/35 is a poly/cotton blend while the 60/40 is cotton/nylon. However, both blends serve the same basic function: when rain hits the fabric, the cotton threads begin to swell, but the non-cotton threads woven in the opposite direction prevent the cotton from continuing to swell, thus encouraging water to bead up and drop off. 60/40 was the original “naturally” water resistant fabric and appeared first on the outdoor textile scene. We’ve been making garments in this 60/40 off and on for many years, and we love to see how the fabric changes and develops with ongoing use.
