Related Products & Applications
Oxford Fabric is a versatile member of the Waterproof & Breathable Fabric category, engineered to deliver reliable moisture protection alongside comfortable air permeability. Within this category, it complements a range of high-performance materials suited to demanding conditions. Buyers comparing options often evaluate Oxford Fabric alongside Waterproof Polyester Fabric, which offers similar durability with a smooth finish, and TPU Laminated Fabric, which provides an added membrane layer for enhanced water resistance. For projects requiring maximum weatherproofing, 3 Layer Waterproof Fabric presents a heavier-duty alternative, giving manufacturers flexibility to match the exact balance of protection, weight, and breathability their end products demand.
Thanks to its strength and weather resistance, Oxford Fabric is widely specified across multiple sectors. It is a popular choice for Outdoor Apparel such as jackets, tents, and backpacks, where tear resistance and water repellency are essential. It is equally suited to Workwear & Protective Clothing, providing durable coverage for professionals exposed to harsh environments. These applications make the fabric a trusted material in both the Outdoor & Adventure Industry, where performance in unpredictable conditions is critical, and the Industrial Safety & Workwear Industry, where longevity and protection are top priorities.

What is the MOQ for Oxford and outdoor waterproof fabric?
Most Oxford and coated outdoor fabric starts from around 1000 meters per colour, with lower minimums on stock-supported constructions and development runs. MOQ moves with denier, coating and finishing, so send us the build and we will confirm the minimum and lead time.
Is Oxford fabric waterproof?
Bare Oxford is not waterproof — the coating on the back is what stops water. A PU coating handles bags and light covers, PVC gives full waterproofing for tarpaulins and heavy covers, and PA offers light repellency for linings. Specify the coating separately from the denier.
What does the D number in Oxford fabric mean (210D, 420D, 600D)?
The number before the D is denier — yarn thickness. Higher denier means a heavier, tougher, more abrasion-resistant cloth. 210D suits linings and light bags, 420D backpacks, and 600D luggage, workwear and outdoor covers. We point most bag programs to 600D for the best abrasion-to-weight balance.
What is Oxford fabric?
Oxford fabric is a basketweave cloth — two or more warp yarns crossing a heavier weft — usually woven from polyester or nylon for technical use. The weave gives a fine texture, good tear resistance and a smooth face that takes waterproof coatings well, which is why it dominates bags, tents and covers.
