The water-repellent qualities and unique character of waxed canvas have been known and used in one form or another for hundreds of years. Extremely popular in the early to mid-1900s, it has in recent years seen a major resurgence.
Why the jump in interest? People are looking for a more natural, eco-friendly water-resistant material, and waxed canvas offers that—and much more. In addition to the “water proof” nature of waxed canvas, people are understandably attracted to its good looks. This cotton material develops creases and wrinkles over time, much like a favorite old leather jacket. No other fabric patinas and wears like waxed canvas; no other material offers these characteristics.
Waxed canvas is strong and very durable, and is ideal for backpacks, work aprons, jackets, vests, dog gear, saddle bags, tote bags, book bags, storage bags, all kinds of outdoor gear and packs—just to name a few projects we’ve seen. (We’re constantly amazed at the things you make!)

Sewing with Waxed Material
As with most fabrics, you should regularly keep your needle and machine clean. For optimal results, we recommend sewing with our bonded polyester thread.
Cleaning
Simple! Use a soft, damp cloth or brush to spot clean as needed. Never dry clean or use any detergent; instead saddle soap and a damp cloth is recommended for stains or if additional cleaning is desired.
This short video provides added insights on working with waxed canvas, how it ages and how to care for it:
Common uses for waxed cotton canvas include outdoor gear, backpacks, tote bags, hats, equestrian accessories, vests, dog gear, dog beds, work aprons and so much more.
Waxed cotton canvas has a long lifespan, and is similar to leather in the way it patinas and wears over time. Normal handling will create ‘craze marks’ or wrinkles. Not only is this is to be expected, it is in fact part of the highly-desirable and unique characteristics of waxed cotton canvas. These marks can be reduced with the heat from a hair dryer, though most people prefer the ‘worn’ look, the ‘character’ that waxed canvas develops with regular use. Its durability and distinctive look make waxed canvas a timeless classic.

Waxed canvas in Forest Green is the newest addition to our growing and wildly popular line of this water-repellent material.
This 10oz waxed Army Duck canvas gets its water repellent from non-toxic, non-hazardous wax. Its finish helps it shed water like that off the proverbial duck’s back. A fabric with a zillion uses, this cotton fabric is made with a very tight, plied yarn weave so it’s strong and resistant to tearing. Waxed canvas typically doesn’t need to be washed, and requires a minimum of care to maintain it. This fabric performs well in almost all conditions, hot and cold temperatures included.
Sew It!
We sew with our waxed canvas—no problem! More importantly, customers tell us how happy they are with the way it sews, even on a home sewing machine. The high-quality wax doesn’t transfer to other surfaces with typical use.
Suggested Projects
What projects are right for this awesome material? A few of the many we know about include backpacks (popular), tote bags, hats, equestrian accessories, vests, dog gear, dog beds, work aprons and outdoor gear.
Vintage Look
Waxed is super popular, and we’re sure one reason is its rugged, handsome good looks. It’s different than pretty much any other fabric, and the first time you use it you might be in for a surprise. It develops creases or wrinkles (‘craze marks’) as you use it. Don’t be alarmed, this is a good thing. Over time, the fabric develops its own character as it wears and patinas. Many people compare it to leather in this regard. If you wanted to, you could use a hair dryer to minimize the appearance of these lines, but our recommendation is to let it age and achieve the worn, vintage look that most people really prefer!

How canvas fabric made and what is is it used for?
Canvas is a very sturdy and durable plain-woven fabric that is often used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which strong fabric is required. It is also popular with artists as a painting surface, typically when stretched across a wooden frame, as well as being used for many fashion items including shoes, handbags, shopping totes etc. Canvas fabric can be treated to become weatherproof and water-resistant. Originally this was done by rubbing the canvas cloth with wax, but more modern treatments are also in use these days.
What can I do with the canvas that is available from Spotlight?
As stated above, canvas fabric has a large number of uses including fashion, interior design, camping and artistic. It makes great cushions and covers for outdoor furniture such as garden chairs, swing benches, tablecloths, awnings, parasols and more.

Plain canvas fabric is ideal for making sturdy shoulder and shopping bags, storage items and decorative objects.
What else do I need to know about canvas fabric?
Because canvas is quite thick and heavy, you will need to have a sharp needle to get through the fabric for sewing. Not all household sewing machines can cope with canvas, and your sewing machine will need to be equipped with special needles that are suitable for canvas, leather and such, as well as strong, preferably nylon, thread, for sewing. Fastenings can include zips, or metal poppers that can be pressed into the canvas with a specialist tool.
How do I care for canvas fabric?
Canvas can usually be cleaned with warm water and soap to get rid of stains and surface dirt, but if you have specially weather-proofed canvas, make sure that you do not get rid of any water-repelling properties by cleaning the canvas.

RV DAILY | Why Australian canvas is the best in the world
We take a behind the scenes look at local company Wax Converters Textiles to find out why Australian canvas is the best in the world.
Australian-made canvas is said to be the best of the best. Sure, there are other countries that can spin a good yarn, but the conditions we expect our canvas to survive in is particularly harsh with regard to UV and colour stability, rot and mildew resistance and the biggie that most insist on – waterproofness. While it is possible to make a sheet of fabric 100 percent waterproof, it being able to ‘breathe’ is also important, so a good canvas needs to be both waterproof and breathable as well as exhibit all the above qualities while offering a long lifespan while being abused outdoors.
I was lucky enough to be given a private tour of the Wax Converters Textiles (WCT) manufacturing plant in the NSW Hunter Valley, but, had to pledge to not reveal a few of its secrets. While the casual (joking) threats of dunking both me and my camera gear into the waterproofing baths did help persuade me to never divulge their secrets, the father and son team of Jim Kelman (the managing director) and James Kelman (the CEO and director) made every effort to inform and display every step of the process with absolute, first-hand knowledge of everything the company does.
I was privileged to be shown the behind the scenes processes on how some of the most highly-regarded canvas in Australia is manufactured from scratch; and by the whole process, I mean right from spinning their own base cloth to the dying, proofing as well as their laboratory where they test every single batch of material before it leaves the despatch doors. In the case of canvas, the hydrostatic head test (a measure of how much pressure the canvas can withstand until water penetrates) and cone tests (a measure of how much water penetrates a cone of canvas in a given amount of time) are the last steps of ensuring a quality canvas that’s fit for outdoor use.
For seamstresses, embroiderers, and all those that sew, stitch or mend material, I can assure you, I’ve never seen bobbins so large, never seen the absolute intricacy of the weaving machinery that transforms simple single-strand threads in thousands of metres of pure (white) canvas base cloth per day, and definitely never seen the complexity as to which the final product is transformed into via the many rollers, baths, heat, steam and drying processes.
Defence forces and more
While WCT is (most likely among 4X4ers) better known as the manufacturer and supplier of canvas for the camping industry they are in fact also one of the preferred suppliers of product to the Australian Defence Force; clothing, ruck sacks, high-tech (invisible to infrared vision) gear and general canvas – all in drab green and official camo colours of course.
Next time you happen to be riding on one of our government trains, check out the materials used on the seats; if you happen to be passing (or working) in the grain industry, have a good look at the giant covers used over the grain; passing through any major city, cast an eye on the giant flags that flutter from street posts; and if by chance you are passing a truck, grab a fleeting look at the PVC liner that seals the sides of the trailer – chances are, most of it comes from WCT.
WCT receives regular requests from a large range of industries to develop and manufacture materials to perform a vast array of functions: the grain example above was one we were told of in which they were asked to come up with a material that was impervious to bird strike, was breathable to ensure the covered grain didn’t sweat (and thereby rot) plus kept the rain off – a tall order, but one that was accomplished via WCT in-house lab technicians.
What’s all this mean to 4X4ers and campers; well, for one, it guarantees you that the canvas used in making your awning, swag, tent or camper-trailer will be as good as it gets. It means that, as waterproof, fade-resistant and as durable as it can be, if it’s manufactured from WCT materials, it’ll surely pass the test of use and abuse in, not just our harsh environment, but world-wide. It was also interesting to see that the WCT lab technicians had purchased overseas-sourced canvas camper-trailer tops to test for waterproofness. While it could never be said that all overseas canvases would fail, the ones WCT had during our visit surely did. At the end of the day, that’s why you’ll pay more for an Australian-made canvas product – they’ve been manufactured to strict quality standards to ensure they fulfil the job intended… not leak like a sieve.
Now knowing the high degree of research, workmanship and quality control, it does make me want to shop for Australian-made materials to ensure my outdoors living is made as good as can be, and I’m prepared to pay a premium for family’s comfort while out bush. In the long run, it means they’ll want to go camping more often, which makes me a happy camper.
While the qualities that make a good canvas are invisible to the naked eye and only detectable via lab tests, a few questions you can ask of your canvas product supplier are:
- Is the canvas Australian made and does it comply with AS 2001.2.18.1987 (which is also the military standard for canvas fabric)?
- If the canvas is not Australian made, still ask the same question – does it meet AS 2001.2.18.1987 standard?
- What make-up is the canvas – 100 percent cotton or a polycotton mix (generally about 65 percent poly and 35 percent cotton)? While there is more to it; generally most camper-trailers and awnings are polycotton given their superior tear strength and less shrinkage, while swags or other products that do not need to conform to a set size can be either polycotton or 100 percent cotton, of which the latter offers superior breathability. The tear strength is generally measured as a resistance in two directions – WARP and WEFT (lengthwise and crosswise of the roll) as well as a breaking force in those two directions.
- Colour; this is purely an aesthetic selection; some companies offer a larger range or colours and some indeed offer different colours on each side of the canvas or even strips – it’s your choice.
- What weight is the canvas – 8, 10, 12, 14 ounces, be aware that heavier weight is not necessarily more waterproof, it simply weighs more. A 14oz canvas literally weighs 14 ounces per square yard and different brands may differ on how waterproof it is. The heavier weight the canvas is, the heavier the finished weight of your product will be; so a camper-trailer tent constructed from 14-ounce canvas will be considerably heavier than an equivalent tent made from 8-ounce canvas but both may have the same waterproof property, although (generally) the heavier material will be more robust against abrasion and abuse.
Essentially, if you stick to the companies listed here, you’ll be assured of getting a quality product, although that’s not to say there aren’t overseas manufactured canvases (China, USA, Europe and Pakistan being the major competitors) that will meet or exceed these standards.
Aussie-made canvas
For those that want to research more on Australian manufactured canvas, here are the main players, noting they manufacture the canvas material, not make products (swags, tents, awnings or camper-trailers) from them and also keep in mind they generally don’t sell directly to the public.

90,000 What fabric to choose canvas from to create a masterpiece? Canvas is one of the main components of an artist, thanks to which, over time, a work of art will turn out. And if professional paints and brushes come with a ready-made kit, then you need to take care of the choice of canvas yourself. As a rule, in art schools, novice masters study on grounded cardboard, but this material is not able to fully convey the beauty of painting.
Each of the woven canvas materials has a different level of stiffness and grain. Accordingly, there are three types of canvas grain:
-
Fine grain. The fine-grain canvas cover has an almost smooth surface.Because of this, the work turns out to be not so lively and voluminous. Artists choose canvases with such a coating if they are going to paint portraits;
-
Medium grained. Medium grit is the most popular finish. It is such a canvas that feels paint wonderfully, suitable for painting complex still lifes and landscapes. On a medium-grained surface, glaze can be performed;
-
Coarse. This type of canvas cover is not prone to deformation and is used for painting complex landscapes.
Also, the relief of the top cover of the canvas depends on the material that was used for production.
The most used are:
Cotton is a natural textile material of plant origin. Cotton fabrics are used in every area of human life: from clothing items to water purification filters.
Cotton canvas has been popular among European artists for decades.The main advantages are the availability of the material and the excellent fabric-to-oil relationship. Despite the ease of use, it is impossible to determine the durability of cotton canvases – the material began to be used less than a hundred years ago. The only drawback of cotton is its softness, due to which, if there is insufficient tension, the canvas can sag and disrupt the painting process.
Linen is a natural and environmentally friendly material that perfectly retains its appearance and its own structure for a long time.Previously, famous artists used only linen to paint their masterpieces. The main advantage of linen canvases is wear resistance and durability, because the material is not susceptible to mechanical damage. Also, when painting a portrait or landscape, linen does not tend to sag. Choosing an art canvas made of linen in a store, you need to fully inspect the goods – despite the high cost, the canvas may have defects. “Knotty” or spots on the canvas are unacceptable and can significantly aggravate the painting process.
Burlap is a fabric made from hemp or rope. The material is rough and durable, rarely used by artists when painting, suitable for vigorous and pasty application of paints.
Synthetic canvas made from polyester. The use of synthetics for the manufacture of canvases is a new trend in the visual arts. The main advantages of canvases made of synthetic material are: affordable cost, smooth surface and no tendency to absorb moisture.Also, synthetic canvases are recommended for study and the first training works of novice painters.
