Oh man, this seems like such a basic question. But as I haven't found a satisfactory answer yet, I'll ask.
Is there a difference as it relates to strength and durability in grosgrain that I get from RBTR, Dutchware, etc, compared to what I get at Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, etc?
I'm specifically thinking about my upcoming tarp project. I have the stuff sitting here, but right after I ordered it, I happened to be at Joann's and found 1.5" wide 'regular' grosgrain (not fancy, wired, or lacey) in a color that seems close to the tarp color I picked. I'm wondering about using that for my tarp ridgeline. Is that stuff on par for strength and durability as the stuff we get from the DIY camping gear material suppliers?
I admit that I'm quite reluctant to post this question as I have to think it's been asked before. However, searches that include "grosgrain" give A LOT of results that mostly don't apply.
So I turn to you all, with your vast individual and collective experience-based expertise, for some help.
