Description
Canvas is a plain-woven fabric typically made out of cotton and, to a lesser extent, linen. Canvas fabric is known for being durable, sturdy, and heavy duty. By blending cotton with synthetic fibers, canvas can become water resistant or even waterproof, making it a great outdoor fabric.
Canvas is an incredibly versatile fabric, and it has many uses from fashion to sailing to home décor. Here are some of its most popular functions:
- Sails. Sails on boats were originally made from canvas though today, most sails are made out of a synthetic sailcloth.
- Tents. Heavy-duty canvas is great for building shelters, and it is a popular material for tents and other camping supplies.
- Bags. Canvas is a popular material for use in bags, from tote bags to backpacks. Canvas is durable, water-resistant, making canvas bags great for everyday use.
- Shoes. Canvas is both flexible and durable, making it great for footwear. Converse sneakers and Tom’s espadrilles are both examples of canvas shoes.
- Coverings. Many industries, including the military and construction, use waterproof canvas fabric as a cover for everything from boats to doorways.
- Clothing. Jackets and outdoor wear are often made from canvas. The durable and water-resistant qualities made it great for camping and sailing gear as well.
- Furniture. Canvas is used to upholster furniture because its strength and durability lends itself well to repeated use.
