The water-repellent qualities and unique character of waxed canvas have been known and used in one form or another for hundreds of years.
Extremely popular in the early to mid-1900s, it has in recent years seen a major resurgence.
The reason why it is popular again is people are looking for a more natural, eco-friendly water-resistant or water repellent material,
and waxed canvas offers that—and much more.
In addition to the "water proof" nature of waxed canvas, people are understandably attracted to its good looks.
This cotton material develops creases and wrinkles over time, much like a favorite old leather jacket.
No other fabric patinas and wears like waxed canvas; no other material offers these characteristics.
Vintage Canvas is strong and very durable, and is ideal for backpacks, work aprons, jackets, vests, dog gear, saddle bags,
tote bags, book bags, storage bags, all kinds of outdoor gear and packs, for furniture, hat, cap
—just to name a few projects we've seen.
We invented "Vintage Canvas" as showing crinkles, scratch with patented manufacturing process which is eco-friendly water-based type. Vintage Canvas is the first Korean patented product.

1. It is difficult to attach shoe upper and outsole because of slippery feature.
2. It is vulnerable to heat and paraffin substances seep through.
- Differentiated our VINTAGE CANVAS

C0 (fluorine-free) water repellent
Currently, famous fashion brands have asked for this treatment on fabric materials continuously.
Fluorine is harmful to the human body.
VINTAGE CANVAS is fluorine-free water repellent treated, techniques with high level of difficulty.
The strong point of C0 (fluorine-free) water repellent : existing water repelling agents for C8 type, which is one kinds of PFC(Perfluorinated compounds). Especially PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) was detected as cause substance which lowers immune function & reproductive capacity, even causes thyroid disease. so, it was designated as International Environmental Hazardous Substances in 2009.
Major makers which manufacture water repelling agents in the world have been selling water repelling agents for C6 type which is eco-friendly fluorinated product.
But C6 type has some potential issue. Greenpeace, international environmental protection agency urges to replace C6 type with C0 (fluorine-free) water repellent as raising concerns over worsening environmental pollution with some reports on C6 type having same structure with C8 type.)
Until now, C6 type is universal. But several famous brands gradually have asked for fabric materials with C0 (fluorine-free) water repellent.
We, DST has been responding to this movement quickly with completed C0 (fluorine-free) water repellent by us. Nike, Adidas which are the leading fashion trend company in the world prefer eco-friendly fabric materials than universal ones.
In the future, our eco-friendly fabric materials could become central ones if general consumers realize the importance of eco-friendly product and this trend is popular in fashion.
