Source for heavy weight hair canvas?

[lorilavon]

Hello -

I'm looking for a source (preferably in the US) for heavy-weight hair canvas. I've looked at a few links from various threads here, and I can only find light to medium weight hair canvas, and B Black and Sons doesn't seem to carry it anymore. Or is there another interfacing someone can recommend for a 16 oz wool kilt I'm making for my husband?

Thanks!

Hello!
A couple of pieces I have restored (one kilt, one tunic) had tow linen canvas where I had expected hair canvas. Fortunately I had some in my stash from a medieval project, because it had become a bit crumbly in the tunic. It looks like there are some suitable heavyweight linen and hempen fabrics at burnleyandtrowbridge.com, also at wmboothdraper.com.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice! I actually emailed B Black & Sons, and they let me know that they do carry heavy weight hair canvas - I just needed to search under "Hymo", not "hair canvas". So I went ahead and ordered it from them. Thanks again, though! Maybe this will help someone else with their projects.
