Coastguard/Dickson Marine is mold and mildew resistant and its proprietary finish gives it excellent water and stain resistance. Its solution-dyed acrylic fiber gives the fabrics brilliant colors. In the solution-dying process, the color becomes an integral part of the fiber by being added when the fiber is still in a liquid form, giving our marine fabrics colorfastness without fading or washing out. With 25 colors to choose from, our color line includes the most popular marine colors. Coastguard/Dickson Marine fabrics offer new contemporary colors, plus unbeatable colorfastness and superior shape retention.
