Hunting Waxed Canvas
獵蠟帆布
獵蠟帆布最早起源於16世紀，用在航海領域，將原本怕水的帆布塗上鯨魚油脂，讓帆布不吸水、光滑且阻力小，讓船行駛的更快，船員們也將舊的帆布剪下做成外套、披風，減少在甲板工作不被風雨淋濕．
到了19世紀，開始從石油中提煉油蠟，可完全的溶於帆布中，讓經過上蠟處理的帆布變得防水、耐風、耐磨．20世紀二次世界大戰期間，英國武裝部隊首次將上過蠟的『獵蠟帆布』製作槍套、帳篷、工具包與包包等需要高強度耐磨、防潑水的產品上．
如今HOOPSWAX也使用軍用等級的獵蠟帆布製作帆布包，與耐用的頭層牛皮搭配，再用高拉力尼龍粗線縫製，讓包包更有美式復古味道！
Hunting waxed canvas originated in the 16th century. It was used in the nautical field, coated with whale grease on canvas to waterproof, so that the canvas did not absorb water, was smooth and had low resistance, the boat to travel faster. It is made into a coat and a cape to reduce work on the deck from being wet by wind and rain.
In the 19th century, oil wax was refined from petroleum, which can be completely dissolved in canvas, making the waxed canvas waterproof, windproof and wear-resistant. During the Second World War of the 20th century, the British Armed Forces making holsters, tents, kits, and bags with Hunting waxed canvas, which required high-strength wear-resistant and water-repellent products.
Today, HOOPSWAX also uses Military Specification (MIL) hunting wax canvas to make canvas bags, with durable genuine leather, stitched with high-strength nylon thick thread to make the bags more American retro style!
清潔方式順序
-
輕微髒污：使用軟鬃毛刷來刷擦拭，可將輕微髒污去除．
-
中度髒污：如果淋到水，因獵蠟帆布遇水有荷葉效果，先快速將水甩乾，再用乾抹布擦拭剩餘水珠，若皮革也沾到水也要擦拭乾淨，擦乾後建議在通風處陰乾．陰乾後皮革處可以皮革保養油或是凡士林塗抹，維持皮革韌性．
-
高度髒污：若包包表面有較深髒污處，可用擰乾溼抹布擦拭，擦拭完再用乾紙巾將多餘水分擦乾即可．
切勿用清潔劑或丟入洗衣機清洗，以免產生脫蠟．
