Got the samples last night from Rocky Woods and it appear to be a true uncoated fabric. As i said I ordered camo print and I didn't see anything on the web site other than the camo prints that didn't have some type of coating on it. FWIW they have several choices of camo styles too. The 500 Denier fabric appears to be very similar to the 7 oz nylon that I got from George. The 1000 denier is heavier but not as heavy as I expected. It looks like a 10-12 oz maybe?

If you wanted to do a camo boat I think this might be a good fabric for that. I have a couple of designs I am working on. I have a canoe I have been thinking about and it might just end up sheathed in camo.
