It creates a surface that is smooth and water resistant. Unlike fully waxed canvas, this fabric won&#8217;t have the wrinkled or cracking effect after use. The colour doesn&#8217;t rub off onto your clothing and it&#8217;s dry to the touch. Some waxed canvases feel a little waxy and damp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a special textile that is produced by a small family run business in the USA since the 1930&#8217;s. They are one of the last companies to produce this kind of quality material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more about this material, please see: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/2013\/10\/04\/4-reasons-why-waxed-cotton-canvas-fabric-is-such-a-special-material\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why I think Waxed Cotton Canvas Fabric Is Such a Special Material.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"540\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/water-resistance-lightly-waxed-canvas.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/water-resistance-lightly-waxed-canvas.png 540w, https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/water-resistance-lightly-waxed-canvas-300x279.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><u>VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetable tanned leather is tanned with organic tree bark and its all natural tanning agent &#8220;tannin.&#8221; It&#8217;s a top grade quality leather that is minimally processed and that ages beautifully. The leather is smooth on both sides and has a nice flexibility. The thickness of the leather differs depending on what it is used for. For example, a thicker leather is used for the bags and a thinner one for pull tabs on cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/modern-coup-bags-vegetable-tanned-leather-straps.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/modern-coup-bags-vegetable-tanned-leather-straps.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/modern-coup-bags-vegetable-tanned-leather-straps-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.moderncoupmake.com\/wp-content\/catsfiles\/modern-coup-bags-vegetable-tanned-leather-straps-450x600.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\">SOLID ANTIQUE BRASS HARDWARE<\/span><\/strong><br>I use antique brass hardware as much as possible.&nbsp; It&#8217;s much more expensive than most bag hardware on the market, but I favour quality over quantity.
