I wear tincloth (oilskin) pants for heavy rain gear. There is nothing superior. I've experimented with different waxes and treatments because the name-brand Filson wax is very expensive. But nothing I've tried even comes close to the quality of the Filson wax. Has anyone here come up with a homemade oilskin treatment that lasts?

A mix of UNBOILED linseed oil, beeswax and pine tar was an original mix if I remember right. Toilet bowl wax rings are good source for wax. Soaking a roll of cloth in it makes good patches for black powder rifles.
