Strong, durable, cotton based fabric treated with grades and qualities of waxes. These fabrics stay flexible at cold temperatures, good water repellency, non-transferability. Due to the nature of this wax, expect greater shade variation in comparison to standard dyed cotton fabrics. The unique property of this canvas is to have crack or crease marks. Most times these can be removed by using a medium hot iron over brown paper.
Uses: bags, pouches, saddle packs, tote bags, backpacks, luggage, wilderness packs, adventure gear, apparel, turnout blankets, rainwear, dog beds, vests and many other applications where defense against the elements is critical!

As with so many heavy fabrics, you will want to keep you sewing machine, needles and scissors sharp and clean. You will need a heavy duty needle, like a 100/16 or 100/18 to do the job. A good foot on the sewing machine will also help keep clean lines.
When pressing and pinning your waxed canvas in preparation for sewing, pin with care because holes may show after your project is completed. If possible, use fabric clips instead.
Once your project is complete, be sure to clean your machine and work-space well. Waxed tan canvas can leave a buildup of wax that you will not want transferred onto other projects in the future.
