It has a very stiff hand and is incredibly rugged. It can pull a Land Rover! It has been cold reverse calendared to give the fabric a shiny side and a more matte side and to improve the fabrics overall density.

Fabric Bolt Width: 60" inches

How Does Buckleguy Ship Canvas?

Canvas orders of 5 yards or less are eligible for our standard Free and Flat Rate Shipping options. If you choose Free or Flat Rate shipping the canvas will come folded. The folding may cause creasing in the canvas from the cracking of the wax. You can remove creases with a heat gun or blow dryer to heat up and resettle the wax. The wax will also resettle naturally with time.

If you do not want the canvas folded, choose one of the available FedEx shipping options and it will ship not folded. Please note, packages like this that are over 48” are considered ‘oversized’ and have slightly higher shipping rates.

All international orders will ship not folded.

What is waxed cotton (aka canvas):

  • In general, waxed cotton is a performance fabric that has been treated with a wax coating (but not all wax is the same!) to provide water repellant properties. Waxes can include paraffin and petroleum waxes as well as natural waxes and innovative hybrid blends. Waxes and oils are natural substances used to protect against the elements, found in leaves, bean & seed coverings, animal feathers & furs, etc.
  • Waxed bags and garments can be continually rewaxed to maintain performance, making them more sustainable than synthetic alternatives that end up in a landfill at the end of their useful life. There is also less impact on our natural environment when using waxed canvas products vs. PFC's (Perfluorochemicals) used in synthetic articles as a water repellant.
  • Halley Stevensons uses low impact methods for applying waxes to the cotton fabric, unlike most other manufacturing methods for this process. The waxes are fully biodegradable.

High quality material. Fast shipping

High quality product. The field bean color came out very olive green or army green versus what was pictured but I still like it and love the quality.

Perfect Reference for Canvas Weights

I highly recommend getting these samples if you are not sure what the difference is between weights of waxed canvas. The samples came in lovely packaging but also well labeled and arranged. It will be a great reference for me in my bag sewing.

18 Oz Waxed Canvas

I ordered a yard of this heavy canvas to try with the classic wax. I made two tote bags, with leather pockets and straps. The wax gives a "pull-up" type effect. It sews easily, reminds me of the heavy canvas we used in the tent and awning industry in the 1970's. A heat gun will redistribute the wax ...

Awesome heavy canvas

Haven’t started my project yet, but this canvas is so cool! I bought it to make a winch cover for my husband, but I will definitely be making some bags with it too! I love the “leather” look of the classic waxed canvas. Shipping was quick and it was wrapped so secure in its package! Awesome! C...
