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.
These tools worked great while I made my Slabtown, and I'm sure that I will use them on other bags in the future (I see many Klum House bag projects in my future....).
Thanks for sharing, Kendall! Glad you like your Slabtown!
The pieces all work well and I like the quality. Including the drive punch would have made it excellent because that tool is very useful in making the slabtown and I wouldn't have minded paying a little extra to have that tool.
Hi Tamara! Thanks for the kind words. Your Slabtown essential tools bundle should have included an 1/8' drive punch! Was it not there? If you didn't receive it, let us know!
