Panama (Duck)

Panama duck fabric, also known as Panama canvas, is a durable and heavy-weight fabric. It gets its name from the Panama Canal, which was being built at the time when this fabric was first produced.

Panama fabric is a type of plain-weave fabric that is characterized by its tight, dense, and durable texture. It has a smooth and flat surface with a slight sheen, which gives it a polished and refined appearance. Its water repellent and stain-resistant properties make it a popular choice for home decor and upholstery projects, where it is often subject to spills and stains.

Panama duck fabric is typically made from a blend of 65% cotton and 35% polyester, which gives it the durability and strength of polyester while still maintaining the breathability and softness of cotton. This blend also helps to prevent the fabric from shrinking or wrinkling.

Panama fabric is often used for upholstery, curtains, and tablecloths due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear. It is also used for making bags, hats, and other accessories, as well as clothing items like jackets, pants, and skirts. The fabric comes in a variety of colors and patterns, ranging from solid colors to bold prints, making it a versatile choice for different design styles. It can be easily dyed, printed, or embroidered to add more visual interest to the fabric.
