Fabric Types

CORDURA® is an air-textured, high-tenacity nylon made by Invista. The real-world definition translates into some of your most used and abused products being lightweight, abrasion-resistant and durable. Manhattan Portage uses only the 1000-denier version of the Cordura Nylon to ensure the most durable bag possible.
Ballistic Nylon is a thick, tough, synthetic nylon fabric used for a variety of applications. Ballistic nylon was originally developed by the DuPont corporation as a material for flak jackets to be worn by World War II airmen.
Wax CanvasTM is a premium waxed canvas developed by Herbert Rice Fabrics of New York. The cotton-based fabric is impregnated by a formulae of waxes and oils lending it weather-resistance and a unique, quality appearance and feel.
Tarpaulin Vinyl is a large sheet of nylon fabric coasted with PVC, creating a strong, flexible, and waterproof material strong enough for industrial application yet fashionable and eye-catching.
