In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, true heritage stands apart. At Claybourn, our Heritage Line — featuring our iconic Oilskin and Dryskin garments — represents more than just outerwear. It reflects over 110 years of craftsmanship, resilience, and timeless Australian style.
Built for the outdoors, refined for everyday wear, and designed to last — this is clothing made with purpose.
A Legacy of Protection: The Oilskin Collection
Few fabrics carry the history and performance of oilskin.
Originally designed to protect against harsh weather conditions, oilskin garments are treated with a specialised waxed coating that provides natural water resistance while maintaining breathability and durability. At Claybourn, we continue this tradition with modern tailoring and refined finishes.
Our Oilskin pieces offer:
-
Reliable protection against wind and rain
-
Long-lasting durability that improves with age
-
A distinctive, rugged texture that tells a story over time
-
Timeless silhouettes suited for work and lifestyle wear
Whether worn on the land, in the city, or on weekend escapes, Claybourn oilskin outerwear is designed to handle the elements while maintaining effortless style.
Refined Strength: The Dryskin Collection
Complementing our oilskin range is our premium Dryskin collection — a fabric known for its smooth finish, flexibility, and performance.
Dryskin garments are engineered for:
-
Superior comfort and ease of movement
-
Weather resistance without heavy bulk
-
Structured yet lightweight wearability
-
Clean, modern tailoring with heritage roots
The result is apparel that transitions seamlessly between environments — practical enough for outdoor wear, refined enough for urban settings.
Heritage Craftsmanship, Modern Purpose
Every piece in the Claybourn Heritage Line is guided by the same philosophy that has shaped our brand for generations:
Make fewer things. Make them better. Make them last.
We focus on:
-
Quality materials chosen for longevity
-
Thoughtful construction and detailing
-
Ethical manufacturing standards
-
Designs that transcend seasonal trends
Unlike disposable outerwear, our oilskin and dryskin garments are made to age gracefully — developing character, texture, and individuality over time.
