Fabric types and color options
|
Purchasing:
There are always a variety of bags for sale in-stock--go here to see what's currently available. If you don't see what you'd like there you can customize your bag via the options for our standard Handlebar Bags, Saddle Bags, and Panniers designs. I keep a running queue of all projects and build them in the order that I receive the inquiry. Once the design details are determined the turnaround is usually not more than a week or two. |
Timing:
Depending on the specific details and features of a bag, the up-front work of dialing in those questions can take some back-and-forth; once the plan is complete turnaround time is usually within two weeks, depending on the number of projects in the queue. |

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!
