Canvas Manufacturer ID Needed

[Bob Carriere]

Hi David

All of the wartime colours were NOT very UV resistant and faded to some weird shade.....the Orange canvass quickly turned to a beige tone eventually..... not to mention the dirt and grime while in service. Duffel bags inside cargo trucks would get dirty faster while the truck tarps over the cargo would totally discolor after one Summer.....CMP parts did provide for sand, OD Green, some form of Khaki....... even the OD green seat covers became dusty...bleached out...shade of green.

Did you know .... that the fungus that attacked clothing, radio wiring, etc. or often called jungle rot ......... the bacteria once isolated and reproduced........
is now manufactured and used by the industry to distress jeans and to soften the weave of heavy canvass work clothes.........
