Waxed canvas is a water-repellant fabric with rugged charm.  The fabric will have noticeable crease and crinkle marks and develop more character with use. 

To reduce the appearance of crinkles in the canvas and restore colour, blow dry with a hair dryer for about 30 seconds.  This will re-melt the wax for a smoother appearance.

Spot clean with a damp cloth.  Do not put in the washer or dryer and do not iron.

Harris Tweed is a beautiful cloth with a rich heritage. Each piece is made with 100% new wool, and handwoven on the islands of Harris and Lewis in Scotland. It is protected by an act of parliament, and cannot be produced anywhere else. Harris Tweed is dyed, blended, carded, spun, warped, woven, finished, examined and stamped only in the Scottish Outer Hebrides by local crofters and artisans.
