Snap Together, Sleep Warmer

The snap system is where the Drifter gets clever. Snap it longways or shortways (horizontal or vertical), join two Drifters together, or close it up into an emergency swag roll / sleeping-bag-style wrap when temps drop. It’s the kind of gear campers, 4x4 crews, outdoor lovers and families end up using constantly — because it solves heaps of small problems without needing extra kit.

Blanket-To-Poncho Zip

At its core, The Drifter is a utility blanket that converts into a poncho in seconds. Unzip the centre zip, throw it over your head, and you’re wearing it. Use the four brass snaps per side to create sleeves and close the sides for more protection in wind and rain. It rolls down to 33cm x 12cm, so it lives in the car, canopy, camper, or pack.

Heritage-Grade Natural Materials

We craft bags from heavyweight beeswaxed canvas, genuine brass, and premium full-grain leather, delivering authentic quality, sustainability, and enduring style that matures beautifully rather than deteriorating.

Re-Waxable For Life

Waxed canvas is water-repellent by nature — and the best part is you can keep it that way. Re-wax it over its lifetime to refresh water resistance and extend the life of the fabric (especially if it’s been used hard or washed). The 10cm internal “gutter” around the edge helps protect the liner side from mud, dirt and runoff — a small detail that makes a big difference when it’s on the ground.

(Optional hood note: The Drifter includes shoulder mounts for the add-on hood, sold separately.)

"This is way above the quality of any industrial, water repellent jackets and such that do not breathe, and have no functionnality other than covering you from the rain, covered in bad quality chemical water repellent that will then seep into the environment. This is old school quality craftsmanship."

The Ultimate Camp Companion

Those corner loops aren’t decorative — they’re there so you can hoist The Drifter between trees, peg it out, or rig it up as an emergency shelter. Use it as a rain cover, sun shade, wind break, ground cover, or an impromptu picnic setup. The stuff sack makes it easy to grab and go, and the 2.1kg weight gives it that “stays put” feel when weather turns average.

Heritage-Grade Waxed Canvas

The Drifter is built from tough 8oz waxed cotton canvas with solid brass snap buttons and reinforced cotton webbing hoist loops. It’s the old-school combo: natural fibres that breathe, hardware that won’t chip, and a finish that looks better the more you use it. Open size is 190cm x 132cm — big enough to actually live on at camp, not just “cover you”.

FAQs

Waxing canvas is a natural way or protecting the fabric and whoever is under it. The wax finish causes water to bead off instead of soaking into the fibres.
