Great Value for the Cost!
I am writing this review because I have seen a lot of bad reviews that I do not feel this product deserves. I have bought these twice now (24 bags in total) and I found that they were a good value and quality for the price. Are they high end Heavy Duty Canvas bags, well no, but you are not paying for that.
I purchased the Natural and the Dk. Grey (Grey). First off I found the quality to be what I expected for 1.67 per tote (12 pk). Mine were sewn well and no flaws. The Dk. Grey was not see through, and honestly my favorite. The Natural was only slightly see through.
They take acrylic paint very well, and I had no issues stenciling on them with Folk Art Multi Surface Satin and GAC 900 fabric medium.
Now let’s talk washing. First they are 100% cotton, so yes they will shrink some. I mean come on folks, do your jeans shrink when you wash them? But if washed in cold water and air dried, they only shrunk 1” on length and width. Even when I purposely tried to shrink them and washed in scalding hot water and put in a hot dryer, then shrinkage was only 1 1/4” on length and width.
Ironing: It’s cotton so you need to use a cotton setting and a water mister. They ironed up nicely.
The only thing I did notice was the size was not the same on the Grey bags, mine were actually 1” longer than stated. This was not an issue for me, but something to consider.
Please take a look at my pics, I show my findings in detail. I hope this helps those who are looking for an honest, non-biased review on the Atmos Green Tote bags.
