Waxed canvas is the original water-resistant fabric. It's a densely-woven cotton fabric that
has been saturated with wax, giving it an extra layer of protection. Waxed canvas shows scuffs, marks
and creases that blend into a weathered patina with age.
Our leather is sourced locally at Oregon Leather, as well as from a tannery in
Pennsylvania, and hand-selected for its quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a
hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency. NOTE: Our tan leather might feel stiff at
first, but it will soften and darken to a lovely caramel brown with use.
Hardware can take a bag from looking homemade to truly professional—and it's not hard to
do! With a few basic tools, you'll be able to set rivets, snaps, magnetic closures and more. All of
our hardware is real metal and strong enough to hold up to years of wear and tear.
The leather washers really help secure all kinds of handles with rivets. I use leather straps, webbing, or canvas straps and all are secured with rivets and the addition of the leather washers. The washers also provide a professional appearance…
The washers are in great shape.
As seconds, these were mostly "hairy" with straggly bits hanging off them, but I was able to fix a lot of that with scissors and an x-acto knife. There were three colors -- black, dark brown, and tan (no chestnut) -- and a pretty large number. I've used a couple to reinforce rivets on a maker's apron I made as a gift already, and I'm looking forward to using more of them on other creative projects. While I would have loved to get some chestnut colored ones, too, this was good value, good variety, and I'll use all of them!
