Inside the Factory: Waxed Jackets Technology Documentary hosted by Gregg Wallace and Cherry Healey and Ruth Goodman, published by BBC in 2019 English narration Information Inside the Factory: Waxed Jackets Gregg Wallace is in South Shields at a clothing factory where they produce 650 waxed jackets a day. He follows the production of waterresistant jackets from the arrival of 500metrelong rolls of undyed cotton through to dispatch. Meanwhile, Cherry Healey is learning about the science of staying dry. She finds that it is easy enough to waterproof a fabric by coating it in a nonpermeable coating. Historian Ruth Goodman is investigating the fishy origin of waxed jackets. She visits a remote Scottish harbour and learns how these weatherproof coats were born out of oil covered sail cloth which seamen adapted into garments to keep out the worst of the weather.
