Description
10.10 oz. Army Duck Waxed Canvas Fabric – Forest Green
Forest Green Army Duck Waxed Canvas is a 58-inch-wide, 100% cotton duck fabric weighing 10.10 oz. per square yard. The tight weave gives field bags, backpacks, and tool rolls body, while the medium hand lets flaps and pockets flex. The wax finish helps light rain and splashes bead on the surface.
The matte Forest Green pairs well with tan webbing, brown leather, or black hardware. Use it across a whole pack or on details such as a flap, bellows pocket, or jacket yoke. Regular handling brings out crease marks and a natural patina, especially along folds and edges. The wax finish is documented as safe for food contact.
Sold by the linear yard. Continuous rolls are available up to 60 yards. Orders of 10 yards or more ship on a roll. Orders of 9 yards or less ship folded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Forest Green waxed canvas work for a flap-top field bag?
Yes. The tight Army Duck weave gives the bag body structure, while the medium hand lets the flap bend over the opening. Test a folded scrap if your design uses a lined flap or several layers around the buckle.
Can I double up this canvas for a bag base?
Yes. A second layer adds body where the bag rests on the ground. Before committing to the design, test how your machine feeds through the doubled base where it meets the side seams and binding.
Can I pair Forest Green with tan webbing or a light lining?
Yes. Order a fabric sample to compare the color with your webbing, leather, or lining. Rub the swatch against lighter materials to check for visible dye or wax transfer, especially where straps and pocket edges will see frequent contact.
Is Forest Green waxed canvas a good choice for a garden apron?
Yes. The medium hand gives patch pockets body while letting the apron move with you. The wax finish helps shed light splashes. Let loose dirt dry, then brush it away gently or rinse with cool water.
How does Forest Green waxed canvas handle rain on a daypack?
The wax finish helps light rain bead on the canvas. Moisture can enter through seams and closures or soak through with prolonged exposure. Use a separate waterproof pouch for items that must stay dry.
Will my Forest Green yardage arrive folded or on a roll?
Orders of 10 yards or more ship on a roll. Orders of 9 yards or less ship folded. Folds can leave marks in the wax. Lay out the fabric before cutting so you can position large panels around any visible fold lines.
Can I refresh the wax on bag corners and flap edges?
Yes. Use a compatible fabric wax and follow its application instructions. Test it on a scrap or hidden area first, since fresh wax can change the surface appearance. See our waxed canvas care guide.
Can I order Forest Green Army Duck waxed canvas for a production run?
Yes. Order by the linear yard for prototypes or in continuous rolls up to 60 yards for production. Plan the full run before ordering to help keep the color consistent across pieces. Volume buyers can apply for a Big Duck Canvas wholesale trade account.
