What You should Know About Waxed Canvas (7)

Waxed Canvas vs Ballistic Nylon

Ballistic nylon was a material developed by DuPont for the construction of shrapnel proof flak jackets during the Second World War.

It is woven from nylon yarn, is very tough, water resistant and has a shiny appearance. Hard to dye, it is usually black.

It is used for motorcycle jackets, expedition backpacks and heavy-duty luggage. It is a synthetic utility material used for specialist equipment.

By contrast,waxed canvas is also hard wearing and waterproof, but it is also an aesthetically pleasing material, which is increasingly used in the production of fashion accessories. It is pleasant to handle and develops a rich patina as it ages.

Waxed Canvas vs Cordura

Cordura is a brand name for a synthetic fabric originally created by DuPont but which is now a term used to describe a range of products with similar attributes. Cordura is extremely strong and because of the nature of the textured fibres it is very abrasion resistant and waterproof. It is used for expedition backpacks and military equipment.

By contrast, waxed canvas is a natural and organic material, it is strong, durable and waterproof though it cannot match Cordura in these qualities. Waxed canvas, however, is a much more pleasant fabric to handle and ages attractively, like full grain leather, consequently it is an increasingly popular choice in the production of fashion accessories.
