What is a Ripstop Weave?
Our waxed ripstop fabric features a ripstop weave construction, meaning it has a reinforced grid pattern woven directly into the material. Ripstop fabrics are made by weaving double warp and weft threads into a crosshatch pattern, which makes them highly resistant to tearing. This design prevents small rips from spreading, increasing the fabric's durability without adding excessive weight. It’s a trusted choice for demanding environments where strength and reliability are essential.
Waxed for Protection
The waxed finish provides a natural water-resistant barrier, repelling moisture while maintaining breathability. We proudly offer a non-toxic wax coating, ensuring a safer, environmentally friendly alternative without compromising performance. Over time, the fabric develops a rich patina, enhancing its character and durability.

Vintage Look
Embrace the rugged charm of waxed canvas, renowned for its vintage aesthetic and distinctive appearance. As it ages or becomes "worn in", expect the development of charming creases and wrinkles, affectionately known as 'craze marks,' akin to the patina of fine leather. While a hairdryer can diminish these lines, we encourage letting the fabric naturally evolve, acquiring a cherished, worn-in look over time—a hallmark of its enduring appeal.
