UPDATE OCT 2024: Due to the unfortunate bankruptcy of Australia's only oilskin manufacturer, traditional oilskin tarp production is on hold until a new supply can be found. Oilskin/wool blankets will continue production with remaining stock. The large 3x3 oilskin tarp may be made from dry canvas as used in our field tarps from late November, 2024. Signup to the newsletter at the bottom of each page to be notified.

Our traditional oilskin canvas tarp, made in Australia from Australian oilskin, vegetable tanned Kangaroo leather reinforcing gussets, Australian ex-military cotton webbing strap (and loops on the 3x3 version) & brass eyelets. 

Oilskin fabric was historically used by sailors to create waterproof clothing & tarpaulins from old cotton canvas sails, dipped in a secret mix of oils. Australia is famous for its oilskin, with one of the last remaining factories still manufacturing in New South Wales.

Even the eyelets on our rugs & blankets have a unique story, being manufacturered in outer Melbourne, Australia, inside a factory which still stamps with their original machinery, built over 100 years ago & converted from steam to electric.

Lead time

Tarps are made to order, and are subject to our standard lead time.

Personalisation

Your tarp can optionally be personalised, with a leather tab sewn into the hem which could include your initials, name or a short message. After ordering, reach out to arrange your personalisation.

3x3 metre version - please read

The 3x3m version includes a ridge/seam down the centre. This seam includes square leather gussets with cotton webbing loops approximately every 1m. As per other versions, the perimeter has leather re-enforcing gussets with brass eyelets approximately every 1m. Over 20 leather gussets are required to make this tarp and a tarp of this size is very labour intensive - as such they may take a few extra days beyond our standard lead times to build.
