Agree with Macaroon, 6 oz too light and 16 oz way to heavy. 12 oz is about right for this. What kind of machine needles and theead are you using. You should use V69 bonded polyester thread as a minimum. Any questions feel free to pm me.

Chomp, “during the war” lol. KF shirts and cheese cloth grundies, chinese fighting suit and long johns with the gusset down to your knees, cup green, polyester barrack dress trousers and black “road slippers” :)
I loved my cardboard lined boots DMS lol.
Combat jackets and the trousers with the wee pocket that no one knew what it was for were great. Wool jumpers were good too but by far the worst was the WW2 helmet c/w spider inner and canvas chin strap.
I liked the 58 pattern webbing, a well worn...
A second hand British Army CWC G1098 section commanders watch.
Not as readily available but simple and effective. Never let me down in NI and the Gulf

Good morning Tony,
Thanks for your post and all your help and encouragement. Sewing has always been a hobby of mine and offering my skills to fellow forum members “seamed” an obvious step.
Thanks again Sir,
John
