Drats.

I'll leave the hemp to you and Robert, Dread. My wife is very allergic. I do have some fun ideas for getting my business going, but I'm not letting the feline out of the burlap just yet.

Love to see some pictures of bamboo as a fabric. I believe my father had some which he got during WWII.

The link to the twill fabric says it's 182 g/sm. Doing the math that comes to about 6.5 oz. material. May be great for Keepoffthegrass in Hawaii, but a bit light. Now the hemp blend might be a different animal.
