Thread
Made in the USA
Tex 70 (v#69) Nylon bonded Sewing Thread
Ultra Violet resistant to reduce sun damage, used for the outdoor market, beading, luggage, shoes, leather, upholstery, canvas and sporting goods, parachutes, and other heavy duty sewing materials
Reflective Material
Made in the USA
SOLAS is a Coast Guard designation and stands for “Safety Of Life At Sea”. SOLAS tape is used in marine environments to assist search and rescue operations. The tape is applied to pleasure craft, sailboats, lifeboats, life rafts, life jackets, life rings, and other objects so that they can be spotted in the water by rescue personnel.
The main difference between SOLAS and other reflective tapes is brightness. SOLAS has a candela rating of over 1000. Standard engineer grade sheeting like you would see on a car tag is about 75. This extreme reflectivity allows the tape to be seen for thousands of feet instead of hundreds. In search and rescue operations, the extreme reflectivity that SOLAS tape offers can mean the difference between life and death. The second difference is adhesive strength. Oralite SOLAS has 5 mils of aggressive adhesive versus 2.5 for other Oralite films. This extra adhesive comes in handy when the tape is applied to a non-standard surface such as wood or pitted metal.
Oralite SOLAS reflective films are popular in many applications besides marine environments. Motorcyclists and Bicyclists use it to increase their visibility to automobiles. Also, its ability to cut through blinding snow makes it popular for snowmobiles and snow trail markers. If you really want to be seen, Oralite SOLAS will do the job.
Canvas/Cotton Duck:
Made in the USA
Martin Dyeing and Finishing created the trademark Martexin™ for its waxed fabrics which they have produced
since 1930. We are currently selling Martexin™ Original Wax to assure you of the original genuine high quality
product. Waxwear™ is not our trademark but was finished by Martin using the same Martexin™ wax finish.
After many years Martin decided to no longer support the Waxwear™ supplier in Maryland for the following
reasons, marginal grey quality, lack of inventory, lack of colors and fabric constructions, and most importantly
their insistence that we did not have a relationship with the customer. If you currently purchase Waxwear™
fabric it is either old inventory or is an imitation of the Martexin™ finish.

XPAC
X-Pac® is a brand of Dimension-Polyant, the world leader in manufacturing advanced, high-quality sailcloth. The X-Pac® story is one of innovation and determination. It’s a story that began with a team of passionate sailors and textile enthusiasts — each with equal amounts of grit in their teeth and saltwater in their veins — who saw a need for a better sail and set out to revolutionize the industry. Today, over 50 years later, we are the world leader in manufacturing advanced, high-quality sail cloth.
On that foundation of innovation, we built our X-Pac® line of laminate pack fabrics. Much like a technical racing sail, a X-Pac® needs to perform in the face of varying environmental and physical forces. Our fabrics do that and then some. Remarkably durable with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio and 100% waterproof. X-Pac® fabrics are designed to perform, no matter what you encounter.
Paracord and Shock Cord
Made in the USA
Located in Fargo, North Dakota, every product in our warehouse has been hand-tested by our employees so that our customers can rest assured that they are purchasing a product of the utmost quality. Driven by our enduring desire to meet and exceed our customers’ needs, we are committed to continually developing creative business approaches.
Bungee cord is guaranteed to hold elasticity longer than other bungee ropes and shock cords on the market. The inner rubber strands of our cord hold a consistent 100% stretch and high modulus. Even after high tension use, our cord will bounce back to its original size, and keep its elasticity so you can use it repeatedly without worrying about wearing out or stretching the cord.
Shock cord is manufactured for its elastic qualities and integral strength resistance while elongated. The elasticity helps absorb shock which assists in transporting items, holding items together, storing items, securing items, and much more!
Elastic cord has a braided sleeve and an elastic inner core. It's perfect if you're looking for a smaller bungee shock cord that allows stretch with your Paracord projects!
