We were inspired by the silk escape and evasion maps used by fighter pilots in World War Two. Their maps were printed on parachute silk, and pilots kept them stuffed in their flight suits. If they had to bail out over enemy territory, these maps would guide them to the frontier and safety. Silk made sure they were tough, could be opened quietly, and hidden easily. We use a silk and cotton blend to make them even stronger. Understandably, the old maps are now very rare and highly sought after by collectors. But we are bringing them back for many reasons:

Waterproof

Tougher than paper

Can be folded again and again without creasing or tearing.

Easy to stuff in small pockets, mitts, or even a sunglasses case.

Can be used dozens of other ways: as a handkerchief, bandana, scarf, bandage, sling, tourniquet, hobo-pack, table cloth, signal flag, etc.

Our maps cover the entire world. You can select detailed topographical, vintage, satellite, or street maps. You can choose your own scale. All our silk maps carry our 100% money-back guarantee. We're positive you will love them as much as we do. Please look at our FAQ page if you have any questions.
