    You're more than WELCOME. I know it can be hard to make a decision on color especially by just looking at a computer screen. Having everything right in front of you makes it much simpler. Plus, you know exactly what you're getting.

    Thanks again for your suggestions and comments a few months back. As you can see, I put them to good use

    Kyle...are you leaving the selvedge edge on now? Yes, I hope as I'm usually able to use it for a rolled hem and gain a couple of inches on a hammock's width.

    I didn't want a contrasting color so I used the scraps. I cut out the reinforcement patches, rolled the edges, bonded them on with GE Silicone II, and backed up with stitches. It leaves the corners a bit stretchy, so I made the webbing almost the length of the patch. It feels pretty strong.

    I still trim some of the selvedge but not all of it. The silnylon has a wider selvedge area than the uncoated fabrics because of how they pin the fabric during coating. I trim the selvedge down some so that the hem doesn't have to be really wide to hide it all.

    Understood...thanks. I ordered breathable 1.9 this time and noticed it wasn't mentioned. I see now that it is still stated on the silnylon. Perfect.
