Harbor Custom Canvas - Long Beach, California

Our Company

Established in 1916, Harbor Custom Canvas was the first ship’s chandlery and sail making shop in the Los Angeles Harbor. Today, the business continues a long-standing reputation for quality that dates back to those early days of canvas sails.

Our Business

The art of canvas making is truly an ancient one, dating back to well before the time of Christ. Today, as in days of old, the only way to really learn the trade is to start as an apprentice, and devote your working life to the goal of learning from a master. We can honestly say that this business has been passed down from master to apprentice from its inception.

Our Mission

As the owner of Harbor Custom Canvas, I want to assure all of our customers that the traditions of quality, honesty and integrity this company has stood for will be upheld and improved wherever possible. Having worked for Harbor Custom Canvas under the tutelage of Don Shearing for over 23 years, I promise our customers that I will carry on the traditions we have established. We look forward to working with you.

Thank you!
Dan Loggans
