outstanding product!

this is robust, high quality canvas with double stitching at the seams and fine craftsmanship, overall... as we are utilizing it as a decorative sun and rain cloth, rather than a drop cloth, it has the attractive, high quality with strong, even weave and uniform coloring to serve that purpose. despite seeing other reviews indicating disappointment that their drop cloth was smaller than described and expected, the dimensions of the canvas we received were 9 x 12, as expected, though that is of no concern for us, as we had room to spare and intend to shrink it with a wash and dry, as a step in our lil’ canvas project process. we choose a cotton canvas drop cloth, rather than a canvas tarp to eliminate the grommets that make it look like a tarp... this way, we get a decorative canvas and more of that "sail" look that we desired. so, in order to intentionally shrink it to tighten up the weave, we washed it in warm water and dried it on medium….and, to our pleasure, this cotton canvas washed and dried very nicely! there is no pulling or otherwise at any of the seams and aside from being wrinkled, which we expected, it dried very evenly and tightened up the weave just right, thus reducing the hole size, as we intended… this way, the shrunken weave reduces the hole size of the cotton canvas, which increases the opacity for better sun protection and decreases water permeability; a tight weave = very small holes = increased opacity/increased sun protection and better water repellency. our next step in our lil' project is to water proof it with Nikwax. we have used this product in the past on large outfitter type canvas tents, during the cold, damp, rainy season with excellent results, but this is the first time we used this Nikwax waterproofer to waterproof new, raw cotton canvas; Nikwax Cotton Proof Waterproofing we applied one (1) coat, per instructions, let it dry, and, wow!!! ... we now have a nice, sail-like rain and sun cloth! :-) . we could not be more pleased... water beads up and rolls off this cotton canvas drop cloth like a waxed car! the wrinkles came out with ease with the tension as part of installation…and, it really looks like a nice, horizontal, natural canvas sail! i think we all love it when a project comes together...and, this one certainly did!! though we have not yet had a rain, we have sat under it, very well protected from the sun and we have simulated the rain by spraying it with a water hose, watching the h2o beading and rolling off, just as expected! additionally, this chicago canvas cotton canvas drop cloth came with an outstanding product warranty, rapidly resolving an initial issue of the wrong item (5'x20') originally shipped due to improper upc labeling... we are very pleased with this product, the project created from this product, and the proactive, expeditious service... a few images are attached below to get a better idea of the appearance, quality, and project potential of this product... again, very pleased, Thank you!

Best for decorating

This is the one you want for curtains, pillows... anything you want actually, I made curtains and a duvet cover. Washes up so soft and easy to work with, I didn’t bleach mine because I love the natural color. I did order another one made by a different company (the one that states NO SEAM) and they were gray, had to return. If you are using this for decor, Chicago Canvas IS the one you want.

Wow! This is a lot of canvas fabric! I'm using them to make curtains. So I washed and dried them as suggested from a previous review. They come out a lot smaller. But still plenty of material for what I need. Now I ironed one drop cloth for 2 hours if that tells you anything! I'm going to paint them and line them. We'll see how it goes.

seam down the middle-- upside for drape panels :)

I am always on the hunt for 100 percent cotton dropcloths, and have purchased a couple different brands. I really like this one, and particularly use if for my drape panels, because the seam goes lengthwise, giving me 2 4.5x12' panels. It is a natural shade, which you could shift or dye easily, but i like the natural color, with small flecks in it. I particularly like because i paint and dye and stamp textiles. I also like the fact that it washes up pretty soft for a drop cloth, and drapes nicely.

I've used these on multiple home renovation products both indoors and out and they're always a hit with my customers...great quality and an expensive way to make a real impact.

Patio curtains

Perfect for my patio, perfect outdoor curtains!

Great Sofa Throws!

Got 2 of these for our sofa to use as slip covers. Perfect size (big) for tucking and the thickness allows me to flip them over and use both sides before washing. Go ahead, dogs...I've got this!

These are amazing! I have used these several times in place of curtains, even adding grommets myself. It SAVES SO MUCH MONEY! For another tip: Go to Home Depot and find 10' Electrical Conduit (galvanized) for $2.50, and then Gorilla glue 1/2" threaded PVC Caps for $0.33 to keep hooks from sliding off the conduit. ¡Voíla! For less than $100, you can put up curtains in your whole house! And if you don't like the galvanized look, a couple cans of RUST-OLEUM Forged Hammered Spray Paint, and you have a gorgeous (and clandestinely inexpensive) window treatment.

I may never need a drop cloth for actually painting but these things are the best.

I bought these for the 3rd time & expect to be buying more. My first two were made into curtains & turned out amazing. We are temporarily living in a very old rental home. One room must have originally been a porch that was converted into living space. When the temps dipped below zero here in MN it became very obvious the porch conversion was done incorrectly and is not properly insulated underneath. We hung two layers of these drop clothes over the (huge) opening & it made a world of a difference. It is now a toasty 69 degrees on one side of the “curtain” & 34 degrees on the other. Its not sealed on the edges as we need access to the door in the cold section so im sure our heat bill will still be fairly high - but not what it would be without the drop cloth & at least we are able to stay warm. As a added plus, now i know the curtains I previously made from these are also helping these old windows keep out the cold drafts.

Good quality!

Perfect for curtains! I washed these on a hot cycle with detergent, and they came out soft. For me, they were too long, but I cut them off and used heat and bond to create a faux hem. I’ll be purchasing these again for future products.
