MaDE IN AMERICa

Nicknamed Tin Cloth, waxed canvas has earned its reputation as the workhorse of natural fabrics. 2 The rugged cotton canvas is impregnated with a generations-old formula of waxes. Water simply beads up and runs off while the cotton allows the bag to breathe. Surprisingly, the fabric is not oily, it remains odorless, and the wax wont wick into other fabrics. 2 Since the 1800s, field tan has been the original, traditional color for waxed cotton canvas. And we like it fine, just the way it is.

WAXEDCOTTON CANVAS

All of the buckles, snaps, slides, and D-rings on Frost River packs and bags are solid brass. 2 It matters because Frost River stuff will outlast brass plating. Instead of turning steel grey the hardware will develop an old world patina. Thats the way its meant to be. Bonus points: brass clinking against brass makes a great sound.

SOLID BRaSS HaRDwaRE

The leather in our straps, reinforcements, and trim comes from the S.B. Foot Tannery in Red Wing, Minnesota. 2 In 1872, Silas Buck Foot began tanning leather to provide high grade footwear for fellow Minnesotans as a way to stay warm in the winter. In 1905 the Foot family partnered with what became Red Wing shoes. The partnership remains to this day.
