Thanks for the suggestion, sdradioman. I checked out Tobacco Hopsack at the local Jo Ann Fabrics. I can see how that might work. But like you said it's a good bit thicker than what I have now.

Searching through the posts on this forum, it looks like there isn't a reference that will provide a factory-original match. Saw a post from Ron where he considered developing an exhaustive listing but decided against it since he wasn't "independently wealthy". Can identify with that!

I think I might try the "Whiskey Rayon" fabric pattern that I see mentioned in a few other posts (though not in reference to the 41-280 specifically).

Anyone have experience with that, positive or otherwise?
