hi Baggins, how about PU backed Cordura ? You should be able to get some samples to make sure you and your machinist friend are happy to use it. Try this link to their website; http://www.cordura.com/en/fabric-technology/index.html best of luck.

If this helps anyone, in answer to my own question; 'Does anyone know if this would stand a cool/warm hand wash without shrinking ?? I would use woolwash or Nikwax 'Tech Wash' and air dry'. the answer is; I gave the bedroll a good brush down first, then I washed it it a bathtub with cool/warm...

I have one too! It looks like the date is 1950-something (it's not clearly stamped); is green canvas and has a wool inner on the base like others described on this thread. Only problem is it's a bit grubby inside and out; I'm not sure I want to bed down in 60-odd years worth of unknown grot ...

I have not contributed much but I bring you this; while working at Tenterden (in Kent), I was treated to many very good and clear calls from a cuckoo at around 5 to 7pm today. My spirits are lifted.....

Interesting comparison Paul, thanks for the test. Apart from the logo stamped on the burner, can you spot any visual differences between the Evernew and the copy? I wonder if Evernew are selling enough of these to make it worthwhile for the Chinese to copy.... The ebay vendor has had some...

that's what I'm wondering; would a paraffin-based firelighter have similar results? Thanks for the concise review though. basha

hi Max, parts arrived all OK, very pleased. Many thanks Basha

Not much to go on, but judging by the condition of that tent label, I'd say your tent has been barely used. Providing the tent has been stored well you have a tent that looks like 'new. old stock'. Back in the 70's I had the baby brother of your tent (a 'Wren' ?). It had a heavy duty, putty...
