Frequently asked questions

These bags cannot be washed with soap. Most importantly, it must be dried out before it’s stored. Mold and mildew love to take up residence in cotton fibers. It will also last longer and work better if it’s cleaned out from time to time. And while our waxed canvas is tougher and much more weather-resistant than untreated canvas, it is still cotton and therefore requires a little extra care to help it last and perform at its best.

We can attempt to repair broken or damaged bags at our factory for a nominal fee. Based on the type of damage, we can not be sure that we can repair all items. Please contact us with photographs of the damage and we can best figure out how to repair.

Items can be personalized with the same stenciling used to make the Harry Miller Boston stencil on our bags. Stenciling machines often have line variations. We have stencil-making machines that date back to the ’40s or ’50s.

Green bags cannot be stenciled as the black ink does not show up on the green bags.

An additional fee of $25 per bag applies for customization.
