Note 1: Duck canvas, also known as cotton duck, is a heavy-duty, plain-woven cotton fabric that's tightly woven and often used for its durability and versatility. It's essentially a canvas, but with a denser, more durable weave than regular canvas.
Note 2: How long have we waited for a vegan half cab? (I know there have been some over the decades but few and far between.)
Note 3: All hail Steve Caballero.
Note 4: Do not confuse this colourway with the "golden brown white", with a wide sole (white on the side of the sole), which is real animal-source suede.
