Our bags and backpacks are crafted from 18oz heavy waxed canvas, a top-tier material that stands strong against the elements. Whether you’re caught in a sudden downpour or just need a reliable companion for your daily adventures, our bags have got you covered.

 

But here’s what really sets our products apart: We source our waxed canvas from none other than Halley Stevenson, a legendary company based in the UK, with roots dating all the way back to 1864. The folks at HS have spent over 150 years perfecting the art of creating high-quality waxed cotton and waterproof fabrics. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every piece of fabric they produce.

 

What’s even better? Halley Stevenson is dedicated to sustainability. They craft their weatherproof fabrics using responsibly sourced cotton and low-impact manufacturing processes. So, when you carry one of our bags, you're supporting a brand that truly cares about the environment.

 

The beauty of waxed cotton lies in its durability and longevity. Unlike synthetic alternatives, waxed cotton is a natural material that can be maintained by you, the user. It’s made from densely woven cotton that’s been treated with wax and oils — substances that occur naturally in leaves, seeds, and even animal furs. This natural protection against the elements has been around for centuries, and it’s just as effective today.

 

Unlike PFC chemicals, which are often used to make fabrics water-repellent but can have harmful effects on the environment, the waxes used in our fabrics are fully biodegradable. That means you can enjoy the benefits of a water-resistant bag without the guilt of contributing to environmental harm.
