I always sit the temp gun down where I would never look for it and end up spending a ton of time looking for it lol
Don't waste your time with Joann. Their camouflage fabrics are garbage MIL knockoffs and crappy fashion patterns. Ebay is your friend for this stuff.

The fabrics you want are nyco ripstop or twill, and poly/cotton ripstop or twill. The fabric weights are going to be 6-7oz and plenty durable. Don't get too caught up with thinking you need a super burly material, as you're making a garment and not load bearing gear or baggage.
