The "Aero" tumbling gives a soft aged and distressed appearance. The 'Hybrid' articles use an emulsified wax finish that on this 6oz canvas is perfect for lightweight, breathable, and weather resistant garments.

Care Instructions:

• Cleaning: Unlike the Classic wax finishes, the 'Hybrid/Aero' article can be washed. We recommend hand washing as it is gentler on the fabric. Washing machines can be used, but it will create drum and scuff marks. Hang dry. The fabric can be lightly ironed. Do not steam. Place a cotton cloth on top of fabric before ironing. If Ironing directly on the waxed fabric, the residue may transfer to a warm iron. Ironing will make the fabric look new, but do you really want to remove the aged patina?!?!

Classic vs Hybrid Waxes. In general:

• Classic wax = waxy/oily hand feel. Develops craze/patina marks.
• Hybrid wax = dry hand feel. Does not develop craze/patina marks.

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.
