    1000 OD Denier Cordura

    I found this t-shirt that says "Chicks dig guys that sew" at DIY Tactical (www.diytacticalstore.com).

    They also have some "1000 Denier Olive Drab Cordura with DWR ". Can anyone tell me how 1000 Denier would stack up to 1.9 nylon ripstop?

    Just curious. Thanks.

    I figured it would be. I just sounds heavy. (and way too expensive to boot.)

    Thanks.

    I forget the exact conversions, but 1.9 oz is about 200 denier I think.
