Halley Stevensons Waxed Canvas, 8oz (P270), Classic Wax, Continuous Linear Yard

Article: 12oz - P270 – Alchemy (Classic Wax)

  • The Alchemy article is a Halley Stevensons ‘Next Generation Wax’. It is a blend of the Halley C4X wax and softer waxes. This blend has a slightly firm but warm and fluid handle. This formulation has a waxy hand feel but is slightly drier than traditional wax with a finish that is more dirt resistant and very durable to abrasion. It has the cracking/pull-up features of a classic waxed canvas fabric but with improved durability and weather proofing performance. Another unique feature of the Alchemy is that when the fabric is rubbed it shines up rather than rubs off, making it more durable.

Fabric Bolt Width: 61" inches

Sale Unit: Sold by the linear yard (36" x 61" inches). A multiple quantity order will come in a continuous length, so an order quantity of 2 will be: 72" x 61" inches. Cannot be returned as canvas is cut to order.

Weight: 

  • Dry Weight: 8oz per yd2 (270 GSM +/- 5%)
  • Waxed Weight: 12oz per yd2 (405 GSM +/- 5%)

Wax Finish Type: Alchemy (Classic Wax) 

  • Hand Feel: Waxy/oily hand feel. Slightly firm.
  • Water Resistant: Yes
  • Craze Marks: Yes
    • Also known as: patina, pull-up, cracking, breaking. This means when you scrunch the canvas, lighter color crease marks will appear.

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.

Great to sew with

I am using this accents on the Kandou patterns Pebble sling backpack. I plan to also make one exclusively with this waxed canvas because it's such a delight to work with and sew with.
