Still used today by the army for its many qualities, this100% cotton canvas made in France is made from carded fibres that have not received any chemical treatment.Chosen for their robustness, these fibres are then woven in plain weave, in a very dense weave: The result is a fabric that resists deformation and tearing. This fabric density explains the complexity of making a through-dyed fabric: Due to the configuration of the fabric, the dye does not penetrate into the fabric, and can reveal small white threads during manufacture or use.
