I just posted this on another thread - because its kind of buried at the end of a long thread, I thought I'd paste it here, too.

Hymo and Acro canvas are NOT heavy enough for kiltmaking.

I'm currently using Tailor's Pride, which is made by HTCW products in Georgia (the US Georgia). Their web site is

If you contact them, they'll be able to tell you if they have UK distributors.

The Tailor's Pride that I order is the one listed here (this site also has a picture, if you've never seen hair canvas before):

It's also available at Vogue Fabrics at:

Tailor's Pride is not as heavy as the stuff I used to buy that was called "red edge canvas", because there was a red stripe down one edge. But it's the heaviest I've found lately.
