Ive noticed TeeDee mention this fabric... Well, I have been on the lookout for it since. I finally found some at WalMart. $2.94 per yard.
I like it... I got 3 yards just to test out.... Im going back to pick up the rest of it.
If anyone else is looking for some, they had what looked like a full bolt in what I would consider "baby blue." The stuff I grabbed is dark brown, almost black. And 1 other color, IIRC.
what do you use it for and are you offering to mail me some?

The piece I have is 63-64" wide and 9.5' long. Weighs 1 pound 15.4 ounces.
Thanks Opie..that comes out to 5.6 oz/yd, a little heavy for my taste. I think I'll pass but appreciate your willingness to help out

Yes, its not light. But oh so comfy.
Thanks here too, but just kidding. I already have fabric I haven't put to good use.

I had a couple of dress shirts made of microfiber. I loved them, just plain wore them out. They looked great and felt great, a rare combination in a dress shirt.

I purchased some Micro fiber Polyester a few months ago. My intent was for a winter bridge. I don't know if its warmer compared to the ripstop, but … I agree it’s more comfortable. The extra weight is not a problem in the winter months.
