Fabrications we use are

'Heavyweight 10oz/280g' (Tarpaulin):  Our mens range of clothing - the workhorse of the fabric range.  Its construction is 24/2 x 24/2 to produce a tight weave that will withstand the rugged requirements of our extreme weather range providing protection against wind and water.

'Ultra Heavyweight 18oz/540g' (Rhino):  Like its namesake, this is one tough fabric.  Rhino skin is remarkable both for its thickness and texture just like our Rhino Canvas.  This 10/4 x 10/4, 540g combed cotton is the heaviest fabric in the range and products engineered from it are often reinforced with leather then riveted.

Oilskin Canvas

The origins of Kakadu's Oilskin Canvas are traced back three generations where ancestors manned a lighthouse serving the remote Southern Ocean of Australia.  Here Oilskin Canvas was constructed using a wringer mangler so they could protect wharf equipment and themselves from the harsh elements.  This was the basis upon which Kakadu's Microwax' was developed.

Using a unique blend of Australian waxes and oils, out Oilskin Canvas is not only water and windproof, it is also fully breathable allowing sweat to permeate through the fabric.  Out 'Microwax' oilskin canvas is also pleasantly odourless with a drier handle that remains supply even in colder climates.

Scrubbed

After being worn for 5-10 years in the bush, traditional oilskin products have an antique rugged look about them.  In order to achieve this type of character in our garments we have developed a unique finish we call it Scrubbed.

Gunn Worn

Through time a wash was developed for garments with tough stains that farmers, builders, miners, riggers in fact gangers or all sorts got on their working gear which we call 'Gunn Worn'.

Barrel Washed

The tradition of washing garments in a barrel or tub has evolved with each generation providing a refined finish and handle.  The by-products from the barrel wash is fully biodegradable.
