>>2489966Imma tell you the same thing the last guy who posted the same question and the same image.
Tin cloth comes in two varieties: greasy and stiff. Neither one breathes well. Both are only kinda waterproof, ie: youre good for one light rain shower every 2 hours or so. The greasy stuff is smelly, leaves stains, and has to be reapplied regularly. Best use: riding on a horse/tractor.
The non greasy mix is super stiff. You thought breaking in normal work wear is a bitch? This stuff is probably 3x worse. It’s as heavy as leather, only it moves with you about as well as something called ‘tin cloth’ sounds like it would. There’s a reason Beardy McHandtattoos there is one strappin it, it’s almost impossible to put on a backpack over a coat like that. Best use: mason, or as chaps for forestry.
Where tin cloth shines is as an inexpensive replacement for leather. It’s pretty puncture resistant and doesn’t fray as fast as plain canvas. Tool bags, ground cloths, chaps are all suited to perform well as tin cloth. I run a candle on the edges of the cuff on my carhartts, keeps them from falling apart so quick.
As rain gear both types fall short of membranes (comfortable, can breathe) and pvc (cheap, completely waterproof).
In short, it’s makes ok workwear but there’s better options.
