Cotton Canvas · by weight
15 oz Cotton Canvas Fabric (510 g/m²)
15 oz canvas is a heavy cover and industrial weight. It is stiff, abrasion-resistant and holds up outdoors once proofed, but it is hard work to cut and sew and it does not drape. Most 15 oz specs are 2-ply numbered-duck constructions.

Common questions
Is 15 oz the same as 510 g/m²?
Roughly, yes — 15 oz per square yard converts to about 510 g/m². The exact g/m² depends on the construction; we confirm it on the article table at RFQ.
What is the minimum order for 15 oz cloth?
100 metres for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1,000 metres per colour once dyeing or printing is involved. No container commitment.
