[Regia-NA] cotton tent material

[twobears@cts.com]

Good day, folks

Scythius from Legio IX Hispana here.

I make and sell pavilions and pther historical tentage. It has been my
experience that the painters' cloth works great **IF YOU NEVER EXPECT TO USE
IT IN WEATHER**.

I have yet to hear of anyone truly pleased by the performance of such fabric
as anything other than a stopgap measure. I did the same thing myself
<mumble, mumble> years ago - and that tent skin lasted ONE event before it
was sent to the rubbish heap.

One...     wet...      cold event.

Salvete!

Scythius (hi there Aelfric/Matt!)
