I want to make some tool rolls and other HEAVY weight gear.  I'm looking for some brown canvass duck like Carhartt coats are made from.

Found a few possible leads.  Will call them tomorrow and check.

If anyone has any suppliers, please post or PM me.

Thanks.

you are looking for 12 oz. cotton duck. It is available at fabric stores, and online

cotton Duck shrinks an inch a yard so you need to account for that
when making anything.

Try Allens Canvas.  It's in Texas and they have all sorts of options.  That's where I buy all the goods for floor cloths.  Remember:  the smaller the number the heavier the goods.  www.allenscanvas.com

Thanks, I noticed that about the weight too.  If it's a number designation, then the smaller number means the heavier weight material.  But if it's described as weight, like in oz.'s, then 14 oz. is heavier than 7 oz.!  Don't know why they use two different ways of describing the weight.

Nice to know about the shrinkage too.  I'm thinking about getting it with a waterproof coating already on it.  Not sure if I'd have a problem with shrinkage with that.  I'll be sure to ask when I call.

Thanks everyone!
