Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Canvas is a dense, sturdy woven fabric, usually made with a plain-weave construction. It has a firm, relatively flat surface without the diagonal lines characteristic of twill. Depending on its weight, canvas can range from relatively flexible to very rigid and is commonly used for trousers, jackets, bags and other hard-wearing garments and accessories.
