The Making of Our Waxed Cotton · Halley Stevensons Dundee has been a hotbed of Scottish design and industry for centuries. From textiles to marmalade and comics to computer games, the small city has repeatedly gifted ideas and goods of global renown. Not far from the Tay in a beautiful Victorian mill called Baltic Works, Halley Stevensons is continuing Dundee’s ingenious and industrious tradition, developing and manufacturing waxed cotton. TOAST has worked with Halley Stevensons on to create waxed cotton for our men’s Waxed Cotton Trench Coat and Kate Sheridan Waxed Cotton Tote Bag, which are part of our latest collection. Halley Stevensons built a name and reputation on the quality of its textiles and has maintained its position as a world leader in waxed cotton thanks to its commitment to innovation. “Our team have backgrounds in both chemistry and design, therefore our waxed cotton is truly a process where science meets art,” explains Dorothy Arnott, Halley Stevensons’ Sales and Marketing Manager. “We are proud of the fact that all dyeing and finishing takes place under one roof here in Dundee.” Read more about Halley Stevenson’s on the #TOASTmagazine via the link in bio.
