Canvas, Drill & Duck

Canvas Fabric

Canvas Fabric is a heavy-duty, plain-woven fabric known for its durability and sturdiness. Made typically from cotton or linen, canvas is used for a variety of demanding application. Canvas is widely appreciated in the realms of art, for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items where robustness is required. Its ability to withstand wear and tear makes it a favorite for outdoor gear and heavy-duty apparel.

Applications of Canvas Fabric:

• Outdoor Gear: Tents, tarps, backpacks, and covers for boats and outdoor furniture.
• Apparel: Sturdy workwear, including jackets, hats, and shoes.
• Home Decor: Slipcovers, upholstery, and other decorative items requiring a durable fabric.

Drill Fabric

Drill Fabric is a strong, twill weave cotton fabric, characterized by its diagonal rib pattern. This durable material is slightly heavier than plain canvas and is often used for work clothing, uniforms, and stylish casual wear. Drill fabric is particularly valued for its ability to hold shape and resist wrinkles and creases, making it practical for both fashion and industrial applications.

Applications of Drill Fabric:

• Workwear and Uniforms: Durable clothing for industrial or service-related jobs.
• Fashion Apparel: Jeans, jackets, and chinos that benefit from a structured look.
• Children’s Clothing: Robust school uniforms and play clothes.
• Culinary Apparel: Chef's jackets and aprons that need to withstand frequent washing.

Duck Fabric

Duck Fabric (sometimes referred to as "cotton duck" or simply "duck") is a tightly woven canvas. The term "duck" comes from the Dutch word "doek," referring to a linen canvas once used for sailors' white trousers and outerwear. Duck fabric ranges in weight from light to very heavy and is exceptionally durable, making it suitable for products that require a sturdy fabric.

Applications of Duck Fabric:

• Heavy-Duty Work Gear: Work aprons, tool bags, and protective clothing.
• Home Décor: Durable upholstery, curtains, and floor cloths.
• Outdoor Accessories: Awnings, boat covers, and outdoor furniture cushions.
• Fashion Accessories: Robust bags, totes, and shoes.
