Frequently Asked Questions
What color is Sailor Blue waxed canvas, and how does it age?
Sailor Blue is a deep navy with a matte finish. Folds and areas that see regular handling develop visible crease marks and a natural patina over time.
Can I use 10.10 oz. Army Duck as the outer fabric for a tote or messenger bag?
Yes. The tight cotton duck weave and medium hand give bag panels structure while allowing the fabric to flex. If your pattern calls for a rigid base or upright sides, add reinforcement where needed.
Will a Sailor Blue waxed canvas bag keep its contents dry in the rain?
The wax finish helps light rain and splashes bead on the surface. Water can enter through seams and closures or soak through the fabric with prolonged exposure.
How should I clean a finished Sailor Blue bag or apron?
Brush away loose dirt or rinse with cool water. For spots, use a very soft brush with mild soap or saddle soap, then air-dry. Avoid machine washing, detergents, and direct ironing. If the finish wears, follow the instructions for a compatible fabric wax. See our waxed canvas care guide.
How much Sailor Blue waxed canvas can I order in one continuous piece?
Continuous rolls are available up to 60 yards. Each linear yard measures 36 inches long by 58 inches wide. Volume buyers can apply for a Big Duck Canvas wholesale trade account.
