《-Military Tent- Shelter Duck》
It is a reproduction of the material used in US military pup tents until the first half of 2003, and is called the "10oz Shelter Duck."
Duck fabric is densely woven with fine threads, making it thin, lightweight, and durable. The weft thread is made of a special flame-retardant fiber called modacrylic fiber (Kanecaron Protex), making it a functional material that is specialized for flame retardancy.
Also, since it is designed for use in tents, the material is highly water-resistant, so you can rest assured even if it gets a little wet in the rain. The water resistance is an excellent 1000mm, while a regular umbrella is said to be 250-500mm.
The surface is coated with a pigment, and as it is rubbed it turns white, giving it a deeper appearance.
The fabric itself looks rugged and heavy, but when you touch it, it's extremely light, yet durable and water-resistant.
A functional body bag for town and outdoor use.
This body bag has a clean design that fits the body well and a rounded shape, giving it a cute, casual feel.
The large front pocket and inner pocket for the main compartment are very easy to use.
It's a great accent piece for summer outfits that tend to get a bit stale, and its clean design means it can be worn under outerwear in winter.

ALBERTON
ALBERTON has a history of being adopted as the "US ARMY DUCK." It brings the military specifications of the past to modern times.
History and Origin
History and origins
ALBERTON was a large-scale spinning company that flourished in Maryland, USA, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. As a central player in the US cotton market, it supplied duck fabric to the government and military, and during World War I it was widely adopted as "US ARMY DUCK."
Decline and inheritance of value
Decline and inheritance of value
Due to the Great Depression, the name of the town disappeared along with the company name in 1938, but the duck fabric business itself continued and expanded, and its quality and existence continue to hold value today as proof that it has supported the unknown behind-the-scenes development of the industry.
Revival in Japan and the present
Revival in Japan and the present
In 2016, the brand "ALBERTON®" was revived by a Japanese fabric producer, who produced duck fabric with selvedge stripes using old-fashioned power looms and the same manufacturing methods as those used at the time, breathing new value into the techniques and spirit of the past by bringing it back to life in the modern era.
