The 1890 is the wall tent we built for our first hundred years: one door, one rear window, and nothing else. It is cut and sewn by hand in our Denver shop from the same Army Duck double-fill cotton canvas as the Colorado Tent. The difference in price is assembly time, not material.

There are no side windows, no sewn-in screen door, and no D-ring floor system. If you do not need them, you should not pay for them. The door frame carries a Velcro outline sewn in at the factory, so a screen door can be added later without altering the tent.

Every 1890 ships complete with couplers, ropes, and stakes, packed into two canvas bags so the kit stays together season to season. The stove jack is sewn in and ready for a wood stove. Order it as fabric only, or with an external pole kit, angles, or a full frame.

Same canvas. Same shop. Fewer features, not lesser quality. Lifetime warranty, repaired forever.

Available in five sizes from 10x12 to 16x20, in Army Duck canvas or WeatherMax 80.
