Halo Repel

Water repellency without the forever chemicals

Repellency built for a world moving away from PFCs

As PFC-based water repellents face growing legislative and consumer pressure, Halo Repel offers a genuine alternative – developed using a licensed, PFC-free chemistry that delivers real water resistance on fine wool fabrics, without asking the fabric to give up its handle or breathability.

Core Benefits

Designed for repellency, durability and cleaner chemistry.

  • Rolled bolts of cloth with a W.T. Johnson & Sons branded swing tag

    PFC-Free by Design

    No fluorocarbons, no “forever chemicals”, developed ahead of the legislation now banning them.

  • Black and white close-up of a herringbone tweed waistcoat with a knitted tie

    Genuine Performance

    Halo Repel offers water resistance, engineered specifically for the demands of fine wool suiting.

    Handle Uncompromised

    Water resistance that doesn’t come at the cost of the soft, breathable feel fine wool is chosen for.

With Halo Repel, performance and conscience isn't a trade-off.

  • Black wool cloth passing through the Krantz finishing machine's conveyor
  • Spray nozzles applying a HALO REPEL chemical finish to wool cloth on the treatment machine
  • Team member's hands checking charcoal cloth with a '100% Luxury All Wool' selvedge
  • Black wool cloth feeding down from rollers onto a folded striped cloth stack
  • Man in a burgundy wool suit sitting on stone steps, adjusting his jacket

Halo Repel is proof that when legislation moves the industry forward, the right response is better chemistry, not a lesser finish.
