22 oz twill weave cotton fabric

Looking for a source for subject fabric commonly used by Filson for their artcles. Doesn't have to be paraffin treated for waterproofing. All my googles return "Filson"; I need a supplier or mill for the fabric itself.. Thanks, JPBill

Can't answer your question Bill, but how are you doing? Are you fully recovered and back to all your activities? Juno

Filson's fabrics are probably milled just for them. I would look for heavy cotton drill--I've found some at JoAnn's, but it was a long, long time ago. Sometimes you get lucky. You might also look at sources that supply sailmakers; this is a pretty heavy weight.

Good luck!

Juno, thanks for your concern and wishes. I'm doing well since returning home after 7 weeks in a local physical rehab facility. Getting stronger slowly as expected and walking with a walker usually and a with a cane for short distances. The persistent snow in Wisconsin keeps me inside.

The heart surgery went well, but the resulting inactivity gave my post-polio syndrome symptoms new life.

This month I'll be venturing down to the sewing room in the basement and start creating things I've thought up and work down the stash I've accumulated.

Happy New Year to you and the group with the hope that 2008 is better for all of us and those less fortunate.

Bill

You sound like you have a very positive attitude about everything. Keep it up, it's what keeps us all going. That and a stash that needs reducing. Juno

18 oz cotton duck canvas is available from sailrite.com at a little over $9 a 54" yard. It is heavy and commonly used for bags and hats, and on "vintage" boat decks. It shrinks quite a bit and has a high degree of water repellency. For making a jacket it would definitely be stout.
