: 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.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, ounces per square yard is a heck of alot easier to understand.

For most fabrics the old number system is thankfully going away.
