What is Heavy Cotton Fabric?
Heavy cotton fabric refers to densely woven 100% cotton textiles that weigh 290 GSM and above — up to 800 GSM for the heaviest industrial grades. At RK Cotweaving, our heavy cotton fabric range includes duck canvas, bull drill, army duck, and heavyweight plain canvas — all manufactured in-house at our Bhilwara facility.
These fabrics are prized for their exceptional tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and long service life. Whether you need fabric for industrial drop cloths, military equipment, tent canvas, or premium upholstery, our heavy cotton range covers every requirement.
Why Choose Heavy Cotton Fabric?
Heavy cotton canvas offers a unique combination of breathability and durability that synthetic alternatives cannot match. It conforms well to shapes, accepts dyes cleanly, and ages gracefully — making it the preferred choice for premium applications where longevity matters.
All our heavy cotton fabrics are available in GOTS certified organic, BCI cotton, and GRS recycled variants — allowing brands to source responsibly without compromising on performance.
