What is Waxed Canvas?

Waxed canvas is a tightly woven cotton fabric treated with a beeswax.  This treatment creates a water repellent barrier while allowing the material to remain breathable.  Over time, the wax wears unevenly, giving each item a unique patina that tells its own story.

Key Benefits of Waxed Canvas

1. Durability: Resistant to tears and abrasions, waxed canvas lasts for decades.
2. Weather Resistance: The wax coating repels rain, snow and wind. Making it ideal for outdoor use.
3. Sustainability: Made from natural materials (cotton + wax), it is biodegradable.
4. Timeless Aesthetic: Its rugged, vintage look improves with age.
5. Low Maintenance: Occasional re-waxing every few years keeps it functional - no machine washing needed.

Caring for Waxed Canvas

Spot Clean with a damp cloth

Re-Wax sparingly using specialized wax (Otter Wax) to restore water resistance
