Waterproof Fabric by the Yard 600d Cordura Canvas 58 in Wide, Teal

In this review of the 600d Cordura canvas fabric by the yard in teal green, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical, heavy-duty option for makers who need a water repellent, durable upholstery or gear fabric without fuss. The reviewer found it especially well suited to outdoor cushions, protective covers, and small gear projects because of its waterproof finish and sturdy polyester construction. For sewists who value strength and quick drying over drape or delicate hand, this fabric delivers consistent performance.

Key Features

• Material: Premium polyester Cordura weave provides high abrasion and tear resistance for long-lasting outdoor use.
• Fabric weight and weave: 600d, 78t and about 6.5 oz per sq yd gives a firm, stable fabric that resists stretching when used for covers and gear.
• Width and yardage: At 58 in wide and sold by the yard (36 in per yard), it is wide enough for cushion panels and reduces seams on large pieces.
• Waterproof and UV-resistant: The Oxford finish sheds water and resists fading so pieces retain function and color outdoors.
• Easy to work with: Lightweight relative to performance fabrics, it is easy to cut and sew for DIY upholstery and camping projects.
• Color range: Teal green is one of 15 solid colors produced with reactive dyes for better colorfastness.

Who It's For

This fabric suits hobby sewists, outdoor furniture restorers, and gear makers who need a tough, water repellent textile for projects like cushion covers, protective covers for patio sofas, backpacks, and simple tarps. Its 58 in width and 600d specification make it a good match for pieces that require reduced seam work and higher abrasion resistance.

Those who should look elsewhere include people wanting a soft, drapey interior curtain fabric or a lightweight, highly breathable summer apparel textile; this Cordura canvas is built for durability and weather resistance rather than fine hand or next-to-skin comfort.
