That was very weird, Bill. The canvas I used was/is 15oz per square yard and is listed as #10 canvas duck here.
I think there are "naming convention" differences tween here and Stateside. I know the Imperial measure uses a 36"x36" size and the US measure uses 36"x28.5" size with sail cloth. (or used to). I tend to think more in metric, more predictable, 15oz canvas being 500g/m2.
