Red Dahlia Waxed Canvas Fabric
This 10oz Waxed Army Duck Cotton Canvas gets its water repellency from non-toxic, non-hazardous paraffin based wax. Its finish helps it shed water like that off the proverbial duck's back. A fabric with a zillion uses, this cotton fabric is made with a very tight, plied yarn weave so it's strong and resistant to tearing. Waxed canvas typically doesn't need to be washed, and requires a minimum of care to maintain it. This fabric performs well in almost all conditions, hot and cold temperatures included.
PLEASE READ*** EXCITING UPDATE ON ALL WAXED CANVAS ORDERS!
To help our clients SAVE on shipping costs, we will now be folding our waxed canvas for orders of 10 yards or less. Any orders of 10 yards or more will still be rolled on a core.
If you would prefer your fabric to be rolled, just give us a call at 1-800-704-6138, and we’ll gladly add a core to your order for an additional $10.00 (please note that additional shipping charges will apply).
Concerned about potential creases from folding? No need to worry! We have a helpful video that shows you how to easily remove any creases from your waxed canvas HERE.
Sew It!
We sew with our waxed canvas—no problem! More importantly, customers tell us how happy they are with the way it sews, even on a home sewing machine. The high-quality wax doesn't transfer to other surfaces with typical use.

Vintage Look
Waxed is super popular, and we're sure one reason is its rugged, handsome good looks. It's different than pretty much any other fabric, and the first time you use it you might be in for a surprise. It develops creases or wrinkles ('craze marks') as you use it. Don't be alarmed, this is a good thing. Over time, the fabric develops its own character as it wears and patinas. Many people compare it to leather in this regard. If you wanted to, you could use a hair dryer to minimize the appearance of these lines, but our recommendation is to let it age and achieve the worn, vintage look that most people really prefer!
