Description
10.10 oz. Army Duck Waxed Canvas Fabric – Lemon Curry Yellow
Lemon Curry is a warm yellow 10.10 oz. Army Duck waxed canvas made from 100% cotton. This 58-inch-wide fabric has a tight duck weave, a medium hand, and a water-repellent wax finish. It gives tote bags and backpacks enough body to hold their shape and stays flexible enough for aprons, tool rolls, and utility pouches.
The matte yellow works as the main color on a bag or as an accent on pockets, gussets, and jacket panels. Folds and areas that see regular handling develop visible crease marks and a natural patina. 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.

- Outerwear accents. Add warm yellow patch pockets, yokes, or panels to field jackets and utility vests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sew 10.10 oz. waxed Army Duck on a home sewing machine?
Start by sewing a scrap with the same number of layers your project will have at its thickest point. A fresh denim needle in size 90/14 or 100/16 is a starting point if your machine and thread support it. Check the stitch quality at folded hems, strap tabs, and bulky seam intersections before sewing the finished piece.
How do I flatten waxed canvas seams without an iron?
Finger-press the seam allowance or flatten it with a seam roller. Test on a scrap first, since pressing and folding can leave visible marks in the wax. Avoid ironing the canvas directly.
Can I pair Lemon Curry waxed canvas with cream lining or light leather?
Rub a scrap of the canvas against your lining or trim before cutting. Dye or wax can transfer onto lighter materials, especially at points that see repeated friction. You can order a fabric sample to check the color, feel, and pairing first.
How much rain can Lemon Curry waxed canvas shed?
The wax finish helps light rain and splashes bead on the surface. Water can enter through stitching and closures or soak through the fabric with prolonged exposure.
How do I clean a Lemon Curry bag or apron and refresh the finish?
Brush off dirt or rinse with cool water. Spot-clean with a very soft brush and mild soap or saddle soap, then air-dry. Avoid machine washing and dry cleaning. When the finish wears, use a compatible fabric wax and follow the manufacturer’s directions. See our waxed canvas care guide.
Can I order Lemon Curry waxed canvas by the roll for production?
Yes. Lemon Curry is sold by the linear yard and is available in continuous rolls up to 60 yards. Businesses can apply for a Big Duck Canvas wholesale trade account.
