The rain will form droplets initially. But then after some fifteen minutes walking in the rain with a puny umbrella, the waxed tin cloth absorbs some of the down pour but I see or feel no water seeping through the fabric. Somewhat water repellent but just don't wear it as a raincoat because it isn't. The messenger bag from J. Crew (it's called Bowery by the way) is some what waxed but definitely not as waxed or I guess as water repellent as the Filson's Levi's trucker jacket. It doesn't mean it's bad, just know your gears and their limitations. (note: I am into waxed clothings now, everything got coated with wax--I'm not waxed though. Got to be a fire hazard.)
