Eco Grade #10 Duck

The middleweight champion. Now with a conscience and a lower price. Same thread count as the original #10 duck, same versatility across dozens of applications. The difference? Recycled waste cotton and polyester from plastic bottles. Stronger on abrasion. Not dyeable, but that’s the point. 

Eco Grade #8 Duck

Understated toughness. Same thread count as the original #8 duck, same readiness for sharp tools and rough handling. Recycled blend. Not dyeable. Don’t care. This fabric isn’t here to look good.

Eco Grade #6 Duck

Brute force. Same thread count as the original #6 duck, same refusal to fail. Recycled waste cotton and plastic bottles. Not dyeable. Doesn’t matter. It’s here for industrial tarps and anything that needs to outlast the warranty.

Eco Grade #4 Duck

The one top designers ask for by name. Same thread count as the original #4, same strength that earns repeat orders. Recycled blend. Not dyeable. We’re okay with that. So is the planet.

♻️ Eco Grade. Ecology. Economy. We didn’t plan the pun. We’re keeping it.
