FOLDED OR ROLLED?

FOLDED: Waxed canvas will be cut in one continuous piece whenever possible. As a default, the fabric will be folded, resulting in creases that will blend into the fabric with use and can be lessened with a hair dryer. Click here to learn more about waxed canvas care.  


ROLLED: If you’re purchasing at least one continuous yard of waxed canvas and would like to guarantee your fabric is rolled, add a $15 shipping surcharge to your order by clicking the checkbox below. This covers carrier fees for packages longer than 22". If ordering multiple colors of waxed canvas, this charge only needs to be added once.


ADD $10 Surcharge for Rolled Fabric

Waxed canvas is a densely-woven cotton fabric that has been saturated with wax, giving it an extra layer of protection against the elements. This heritage material has been long-loved for its durability, natural water-resistance, and rugged character. Waxed canvas shows marks and creases that blend into a lovely weathered patina over time, similar to leather. Klum House hand-selects the very best waxed canvas from mills in Scotland and the United States.

Love sewing bags with waxed canvas

I love to make bags of all types and waxed canvas is my favorite choice. It is easy to manipulate but strong enough to give bags that feeling that you're holding a high quality bag. It even somewhat resembles a lightweight leather once incorporated into a bag.

Very ok waxed canvas

Canvas is greasy feeling, double stick tape wouldn’t stick for zipper/pocket placement, lighter colors are see through, not as robust feeling and doesn’t hold shape as well despite same ounces as my usual supplier from Etsy. I will stick with my usual supplier. Fast shipping.

Spring Green Waxed Canvas

While I love the quality of the waxed canvas I think the product photos misleading in terms of the color which appears much darker in person. I know colors vary by computer monitor but the spring green swatch photo is more accurate than all the other photos of this color on your website and social media.
