ABOUT
My goal is for Hawbuck to offer the best wallets made with Dyneema® one can buy. I aim to offer the best wallets made with Dyneema® through dedication to frugal design and careful manufacturing.
Hawbuck started with a problem that I had, I couldn’t find the wallet I wanted. So, I made it, then improved it. Several years later, Hawbuck has become the go-to for this niche. I appreciate the support from many loyal customers who have spread the word to their friends, and value what it says about the design and craft of these utilitarian objects.
ABOUT THE MATERIAL
If you made it to this site, there's a good chance you are already familiar with UHMPE composite fabrics, such as Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF).
Dyneema® refers to a specific formulation of ultra strong UHMPE fibers (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) which are used in a matrix, bonded in layers of PET, Polyester film. For most of my wallets, I use Dyneema® Composite Fabric Hybrid, the Hybrid denoting the fact that the laminate includes a 50d woven Polyester face cloth. This face cloth aids in abrasion resistance and adds a nice tactile feedback. I described this from memory, for a more accurate and comprehensive overview of the material, backpackinglight.com did a great podcast on the subject. This podcast includes some great info from Wes Hatcher from Cubic Tech, subsidiary of Avient Corporation, makers of DCF material, You can find that podcast here.
Dyneema® is an exclusive trade mark of Avient Corporation
