In Response To: Denim-Yak....????? (Rehd)

: about the availability of the 10oz. canvas duck. ?? I vaguely remember
: discussions on Polyester, nylon, and such things as that. My question is:
: Has anyone considered Denim? There are many grades and weights of denim
: available, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how this fabric
: would hold up in comparison to the Canvas. How might the cost compare with
: the "difficult" to find ( according to several sources )canvas?
: I have not looked for the canvas in our area, but, have only two
: "Tent and Awning" manufacturers that I know of, and just in
: case???? Just a passing curiousity that I hadn't heard discussed.

: Rehd Rehd near Chicago the Home Depot carry large painters drop clothes of canvas of about 10 oz.Do not recall the price or size though . Gary
