Oilcloth is utilitarian fabric. Its durable, vibrant, reusable, wipeable, long lasting, fade resistant and water proof!

OilclothByTheYard.com only sells genuine oilcloth. Oilcloth is a retro fabric, its cloth scrim (poly-cotton) printed and treated on one side with a waterproof coating, originally popular in the 1950’s.  Our manufacturing process dates back to 1952. The original oilcloth was made with linseed oil and canvas, which was found to harbor bacteria, gain a funky smell and rot. This was not a mass produced product. Mass produced oilcloth came about in 1949 and our manufacturing began in 1952. Unlike a simple vinyl, it wont stretch, fade tear easily or crack. Unlike a laminate which will yellow, fade, and crack, genuine oilcloth is easy to sew, won’t yellow, crack or fade. Oilcloth is great for tablecloths, wallpaper, outdoor pillows, cushions, and all upholstery projects as wells as placemats, aprons,  bags and all sorts of projects!

Please note the CPSIA act of 2008 may prohibit oilcloth garments, such as aprons, bibs or toys for children under the age of 12.
