Until recently we have found sourcing tightly woven sailcloth to RN specifications difficult since the closure of the Dundee Weavers of this cloth.
We are now able to supply by the linear metre and sampling amounts to sailmakers and users of heavy canvas.
This cloth is readily available in large quantities from weavers in Europe in a range of weights both untreated and rot resistant treated. Weights available 590-670-700-750-950gsm Minimum orders of 50 metre.
We will be pleased to assist you with getting the best price directly from weavers in Europe. Contact us for more info and collaborative purchasing options.
The sample cloth we have is untreated flax as made for the French Frigate "Hermione".
Sample piece 150 mm by full width 630mm 590gsm so you can inspect the woven selvedge from a shuttle loom.
We are keen to promote this as a service to sailmakers as the price for bulk orders you pay will be far less than quoted here per metre. Our price per linear metre £36 plus postage.
