All Shift + Wheeler garments (except waxed canvas garments) are made of natural fibers and we recommend cold wash and hang dry, hot iron. If you must machine dry a linen garment, usually 10 minutes will do. All fabric is pre-washed to minimize shrinkage.

Waxed canvas is known to age beautifully and patina over time. This is especially noticable and happens more quickly with lighter colors such as yellow. 

Cleaning Waxed Canvas

Brush off dirt or sand. Use a clean sponge or brush to gently massage small spots with cold water and a drop of mild soap. Rinse with cold water. Let the bag air dry. Do not use warm or hot water, laundry detergent, traditional washing, or dry cleaning.

Re-Waxing

To maintain the water resistance of your item, you may choose to re-wax in a year or two, depending on how much you use it.  Use canvas wax according to package instructions.
