Forget Waxed Canvas, Your Closet Needs Fire Hose Canvas
Briefly

"Fire Hose is essentially a next-generation version of classic duck canvas cloth, which has been a workwear staple for decades. What sets traditional duck canvas apart from other fabrics is its tighter weave, which makes it stronger. But what sets Duluth Trading's proprietary Fire Hose apart from regular duck is that they wanted to make 'something more durable and more flexible right out of the package.'"
"To accomplish that goal, they looked to 'old fire hoses, and the fabric used to wrap them,' as that specific type of weave was able to expand and contract significantly (as the fire hoses went from limp to gushing with water) while also being puncture resistant."
"Duluth Trading unveiled their trademark Fire Hose in 2003. Since that time, it's become a favorite of consumers who appreciate both durability and flexibility in their rugged wear, reflecting a shift towards functional fashion in menswear."
