100% Cotton Duck Canvas Fabric - Nutmeg - 9 oz
Location: 121 Princess St, 2nd Floor, Wood Studio
A heavier 9 oz cotton duck canvas from James Thompson & Co., dyed and finished in the USA. The extra weight makes it a good choice for chore coats, bags that carry real loads, work aprons, tool rolls, and anything that needs to hold its shape. Nutmeg is a warm tan, close to the colour of classic work canvas.
Care
Wash in cold water. Use non-chlorine bleach only. Dry flat and use a cool iron. Dry cleaning is also fine. Duck canvas shrinks, so pre-wash before cutting.
