- Is this fabric waterproof?
- No. It is uncoated nylon ripstop, so it resists wind and light splashes but water will pass through. Treat it or use a coated fabric for real rain protection.
- Can I sew it on a home machine?
- Yes. Use a sharp or microtex needle and a longer stitch, and clip rather than pin to avoid holes. Nylon can slip, so a walking foot helps.
- How do I care for it?
- Wash cool and gentle, and air dry. Keep irons on low heat with a pressing cloth, since nylon scorches and melts easily.
- Does the camouflage pattern match real OCP gear?
- It uses the Multicam OCP colorway, so it blends well with common tactical gear. Exact shade can vary slightly between dye lots.
- What can I make with it?
- Pouches, pack panels, gear covers, seat covers, banners and costume pieces. It is too stiff and warm for close-fitting everyday clothing.
- Is it sold as one continuous piece?
- It is sold by the yard. Ordering several yards usually gives one continuous cut, but confirm with the seller for large orders.
- Where is the Multicam OCP Camouflage Ripstop Nylon Fabric cheapest?
- At Sears, for $31.13, as of our latest check.
