I use Gutermann thread on anything that needs strength, it doesn't go fluffy or twist as much as cheaper threads either so make life a bit easier.

We got upholstery thread for use on items like this. Very strong.

There's a shop in Glasgow that sells the big cops of stuff the army uses to sew webbing, etc., I have some. If you send me an address Hans, I'll wind some onto a couple of card bobbins for you. That way you'll have it for repair and in your pack if needed.

cheers,
M
