Default More Information on the Cordura Fabric

Hi Pieter

I've been doing some searching to find a good source for Cordura and information on colors. I've requested some samples so that I can get the best match for the fabric appearance as a match to original CMP seat and round hatch cover. My local source has gone out of business.

But here are some locations if anyone wants to look at colors and information online.

http://www.cordura.com/documents/COR...t-Military.pdf the actual world wide list of distributors.

Seller Websites - (I have not used any of these yet) but they do have information on color and fabric.

http://seattlefabrics.com/ My son inlaw did use these people when he was modifying his camping gear for hiking the Appalachian Trail approximately 2200 miles,

http://seattlefabrics.com/1000d%20Colors.htm Colors I've ordered samples from them.

Hope this information is of help, I've got to make a new set of front Seat Covers for the Pattern 13 so I've gotten out my originals and old patterns. As I'm making a set I'll try to improve my patterns and figure out a way of sharing them.

Cheers Phil
