Fabric types and color options
Fabric choice and colors: #8 Cotton Duck
#8 100% cotton duck is the standard material used in most Waxwing bags. Its sturdy, durable and treated with commercially applied water repellant making for a bag that will last and perform for decades. The color options abound! If water-permeability is a concern, don't let that stop you from choosing cotton duck. I've made a bowl shape with this fabric and filled it with water. Nothing happens... it just sits there, for hours! |
xPac: x10 DP Cotton Duck
X10 combines natural cotton duck with Dimension Polyant's signature X-Ply™ reinforcement and 100% waterproof polyester film backing--there is no PU coating to leak or peal off. It has the look and feel of classic cotton with a nice sturdy quality combined with the reassurance of a completely waterproof backing. It's also incredibly lightweight. |
#8 and #10 Waxed Canvas
If its a time tested classic look you are after, waxed canvas is lovely! It acquires a wear and patina over time that speaks of use and adventure. Waxed canvas is heavier than the non-waxed version, but the look and feel are hard to beat! Note: Additional $20 for waxed fabric per bag |
Brass or Nickel Hardware
You have a choice with your bag order between brass and nickel. Left to my own devices, I tend to pair brass with bags that get honey leather trim, while bags with black trim tend to get nickel, but that's not to say you can't have it otherwise. |
