Black Gold Definition: Black gold is a term applied to oil or petroleum, which is black when it comes out of the ground and is worth a great deal of money. The jacket's essence lies in the unique, oily finish applied to its waxed cotton fabric – a nod to the finish and nature of oil. We've named it Black Gold to pay homage to this liquid treasure.

The design of the Black Gold Jacket captures the essence of a moment when style struck gold. This design is a piece of history, an everyday companion reflecting the timeless allure of an actor who will be forever known as a style icon both on and off-screen. Inspired by authenticity and charisma, the Black Gold Heritage Adventure Jacket is a tribute to those who appreciate genuine style and the enduring influence of a true legend. Established in 1880, British Millerain pioneered the development of waxed cotton. 

Linseed oil was far from ideal, turning yellow over time and cracking in cold conditions, losing its weather-resistant properties. British Millerain pioneered the development of paraffin-based waxed cotton, which offered improved weather resistance and breathability without the deteriorating properties of linseed oil. This early work formed the basis of waxed cotton as we know it today.

The superiority of this new wax treatment was quickly recognised, and demand for ‘Millerain’d’ cotton increased worldwide.
