[Regia-NA] tents again

[Kimberly Karn]

Having bought a french bell wedge from panther primatives I am loathe to 
invest in another tent as of right now but I just picked up some jute 
fabric in a herringbone weave for some bags. It was 2.99 a yard and a 
nice tight weave as well as a good weight. At that price I can afford to 
get a few more bolts. I was wondering what would be wrong with a tent 
made of this fabric.
  I got the second one down. I just love red.

I know jute comes from India. I understand that the fiber prolly would 
not be used in that part of europe in our period, but cotton would have 
been just as scarce. Jute stands up to the weather fairly well.
Can I just get a bit of feedback before I plunge into this investment.
I was thinking Geteld btw
