On Fulbourne we had always bought black canvas cloths which tended to give us about five years useful life but whebn it came to replacing the last set we couldn't find black canvas available anywhere to save out lives. Eventually we replaced them with 'Regentex' - a synthetic cloth which wasused to re-cloth 'Kildare'. We got the cloths made up by DH Load control who are based in the Black Country: http://www.dhloadcontrol.co.uk If I recall the whole set came to about £1,100. Tim
