Ideally this will mean both vegan and natural materials but I'm aware synthetics are near unavoidable. Please feel free to share synthetic materials that are made for long-term / indefinite use.

In summer I typically wear only cotton / linen but as the weather gets colder I'm looking for warm or waterproof winter clothes. I asked this question to a vegan community already and I'll put their responses in a comment below.

Additional question - It seems the best way to keep warm in cold weather is to layer natural layers with treated/waxed nylon or cordura on top. Does anyone have experience with this or know of an accessible guide online? Every post I find is linked to a shop or otherwise trying to sell something.

Also any info on the waxes to use (Parrafin, soy oil, synthetic beeswax, candelilla are all options I have come across) is appreciated!

I use an "oilskin" (actually cotton) as a raincoat and wax it with a mixture of carnauba wax and jojoba oil. Castor would probably also work, you just need to add something to soften it that's heavy enough not to get displaced by water.
