About Product
10.10 oz Army Duck Canvas – Natural | Ultra-Smooth Shelter Duck | 100% Made in USA | Berry Compliant
The legendary 10.10 oz Army Duck (also called Shelter Duck or Shelter Tent Duck) is the gold-standard tight-weave canvas trusted by the U.S. military for decades and now the #1 choice of fine artists, screen printers, bag makers, and marine fabricators.
Woven in the USA from 100% American-grown cotton using **plied yarns in an extremely tight basket-style weave, this fabric is dramatically stronger and far smoother than standard 10–12 oz cotton duck — giving you the perfect combination of durability and a silky-smooth surface that takes paint, primer, and ink like nothing else.
Why Marsidian 10.10 oz Army Duck is the Best on the Market

- Exceptionally smooth face – the preferred canvas of professional portrait artists and galleries
- Meets or exceeds historic military shelter-tent specifications
- Naturally breathable yet highly abrasion resistant
- Takes gesso, oil/acrylic primer, screen-printing ink, and fiber-reactive dyes beautifully
- Only 5–7% shrinkage (far lower than imported army duck)
