“The Baron” a collaboration with GWA.
In Hunter Green rugged twill with orange Royal Red cotton lining.
The Baron is back and I'm beyond hyped to bring it to you in a new material. I've always been a fan of heritage materials. Ones that age beautifully and can be renewed easily with simple care. Canvas and twill age line a fine wine. They go with any outfit and suit any occasion.
Rugged Twill vs Waxed Canvas. What's the difference?
Both are 18oz base fabrics but the weave and water repellence make all the difference. Where my waxed canvas from the first baron is a plain weave and waterproofed with 6oz of wax per yard, twill has a much more interesting weave and a lighter commercial water repellant. The weave pattern in twill creates the diagonal lines that provide more visual appeal and brings additional strength. It also makes for a softer bag. The 18oz hunter green rugged twill will age nicely and develop its own personal patina.
There's none of the "stick" you get from waxed canvas and the fabric is more flexible. It holds its shape well but is equal parts tough and soft.
The liner is presented in a 10oz cotton in royal red creating nice contrast. It's soft but still has enough texture and toughness.
Lastly, The Baron features a 1050D ballistic bottom. The materials can take abuse but the ballistic will give a reliable spot to ground your bag as well as tie the modern accents together nicely.
