I wonder if it's the ripstop 100% cotton fatigues that I've been buying
at surplus stores.  That stuff is wonderful, but becoming harder and
harder to find. The fabric has a kind of rough cross-hatch pattern and is
very thin and very strong.  

I notice that L.L. Bean is now selling a shirt made of the fabric, but
it does not have all the same pockets and stuff, and it comes in several
different colors.
