All our tents are made in white canvas only for some very good reasons: • All cotton colored canvas fades fairly quickly. We want your tent to look good in 20 years. • All colored canvas that lasts a long time are synthetic and don’t breathe, nor do they look as historical. • Dark colors will heat up your tent, and will filter the sunlight making your stuff into funny colors. • At night, a small light source can light the inside of a white tent. • Our white canvas is treated for water repellant, mildew resistance and fire retardant, not all color canvas can be treated in the same fashion. • We do put fancy colored trim on to tents, and we encourage customers to paint stripes or designs on your tent. • Most of the colorful historical tents were dyed in wool or silk. We can’t get strong canvas made of wool or silk. Most of those tents had an outer layer and an inner layer, which make the tents very heavy. Without an army of servants to put up your tents, most modern folks can’t hope to actually copy the super fancy tents of ages past.
