The Tradesman Tote is a vintage canvas tote you have to hold and touch to appreciate the quality of materials and craftsmanship. Built from heavy 22oz primitive shuttle loom cotton duck, unrefined and still containing traces of cotton seeds, this American-made heritage tote is tough as nails and designed to develop character with age.
The bottom canvas and handle trim are crafted from Martexin™ authentic waxed cotton duck for water resistance and durability. Vintage copper rivets that tarnish green with age reinforce all key stress points, adding to the authentic, lived-in aesthetic of this original design.
Available in two sizes, the Tradesman Tote features a convenient side pocket that keeps essentials within reach, while heavy nylon thread stitching ensures long-lasting construction. Whether you're carrying tools, groceries, or daily gear, this tote delivers rugged utility with timeless style.

Caring for Martexin™ Original Wax Duck Canvas
Martexin Original Wax Duck Canvas is a highly specialized textile that precludes normal cleaning. Just as you wouldn't wash a leather product, such as shoes, gloves, or jackets, you shouldn't machine wash or dry clean your wax duck product. Wax fabrics have been successfully used for many years without washing.
- Clean with a hose and damp cloth as needed
- Do not machine wash or dry clean
- Allow to air dry completely before storage
- Embrace the natural patina that develops with use
- Copper rivets will tarnish green over time, adding to the vintage character
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use
