Number Duck Cloth

“Number duck cloth” refers to a specific grading system that rates the thickness and weight of duck cloth. In this system, lower numbers indicate thicker, heavier fabric, while higher numbers represent lighter-weight duck cloth. For instance, #4 duck is heavier and thicker than #10 duck. This standardized system helps to identify the fabric’s strength and suitability for different applications.

Key Characteristics of Number Duck

Strong and Stiff

The fabric is generally thick and stiff, making it resistant to wear and tear but not as soft or flexible as lighter cotton fabrics.

Color

It’s often available in neutral tones, such as beige, khaki, olive, or brown, although it can be dyed in a variety of colors.

Heavy Duty

Number Duck fabrics, especially in the higher numbers, are often used which requires high durability and resistance to the elements.

Types & Use Cases

#4 Duck Cloth

Thick and durable, often used for industrial products like sandbags, floor coverings, heavy-duty tool bags, and tarps.

#8 Duck Cloth

Slightly lighter but still very sturdy; used in bags, backpacks, workwear, and outdoor gear like tents and canopies.

#10 Duck Cloth

Mid-weight, commonly used for upholstery, slipcovers, and home decor items, balancing strength with flexibility.

#12 Duck Cloth

Lightweight yet durable, ideal for lighter upholstery, aprons, tote bags, and some workwear.

#14 Duck Cloth

The lightest, used for less heavy-duty projects like crafts, aprons, and decorative items, adding a rustic touch without added weight.
