Why People Get Confused
Because full canvas, half canvas and fused suits have:
- Full Canvas = 100% stitched canvas;
- Half Canvas = 50% stitched canvas + 50% glue;
- Fused Suit = 100% glue.
That’s the real difference.
Quick Summary
- Fused Suit → Cheapest, fully glued, lower durability
- Half Canvas Suit → Best value, canvas in top half + fused bottom
- Full Canvas Suit → Highest quality, fully stitched canvas, premium durability
