18oz / 1000 gm2 Canvas FCF Superdry, 150-160cm width

100% US cotton. Fabric is manufactured at a traditional mill in Dundee, Scotland.

Five colors and two weaving variations available:

- Asphalt Grey, Twill
- Chocolate Brown, Twill

Superior quality cotton with a DWR finish (durable water repellent). This finish offers excellent waterproofing properties combined with a densely woven cotton base. This means the fabrics perform well while maintaining their natural cotton feel and appearance.

Dry waxing applied, allowing use without lining.

Dry waxing vs. usual waxing

Waxed canvas is a cotton fabric treated with a blend of waxes—traditionally paraffin and/or beeswax—that are melted and impregnated into the fibers. The fabric is typically heated to around 60–80°C, allowing the wax to fully penetrate the yarn structure. This creates a highly water-resistant barrier but leaves a slightly oily surface, which can transfer residue and often requires a lining.

Dry waxed canvas, by contrast, uses a more advanced finishing process. Instead of heavy wax impregnation, a low-oil wax formulation or microcrystalline wax blend is applied in controlled, thinner layers, often followed by mechanical finishing (calendering) and curing. This binds the wax more evenly within the fabric, resulting in a matte, dry-to-the-touch surface. Because the wax is more stable and does not migrate, dry waxed canvas does not leak or transfer, and typically does not require a lining, while still maintaining water resistance.

High-quality cotton with DWR impregnation (durably water-repellent). This impregnation provides excellent water-repellent properties and, combined with the densely woven cotton fabric, ensures optimal performance while preserving the natural comfort and appearance of cotton.

Dry waxing vs. conventional waxing treatment

Waxed cotton is a fabric treated with a wax mixture—traditionally paraffin and/or beeswax. The waxes are melted and worked into the fibers. The fabric is usually heated to 60–80 °C so the wax can fully penetrate the yarn structure. This creates a highly water-repellent barrier but leaves a slightly oily surface that can leave residues and often requires a lining.

Dry waxing, on the other hand, uses a more advanced finishing process. Instead of a thick wax impregnation, a low-oil wax formulation or microcrystalline wax blend is applied in controlled, thinner layers, followed by mechanical finishing (calendering) and curing. This binds the wax more evenly in the fabric, resulting in a matte, dry-to-the-touch surface. Because the wax is more stable and does not migrate, dry waxed cotton is dense and does not stain. It usually does not require a lining while maintaining its water resistance.
