    I'm posting this here because I want to make a garment from this cloth. Asking on behalf of myself and "Creeping Past": Canvas- the "lighter weight" variety, that looks like a very heavy Poplin(actually, Poplin doesn't have a plain weave, it has a horizontal rib, if you look close enough)...

    Origin of the "Rope Shoulder"
