Most durable Ultrasuede Light colors?

[JDill]

I'm wanting to try my hand at stitching my own bags, and I've heard that there are differences in the durability and texture of different colors of Ultrasuede light. Is this true? If so, what would you consider the best for footbags? Any that I should avoid at all costs?

Basically all USL is good for footbags, I've noticed that some of the browns and greens seem a little thicker then the rest of the colors but if you stick with the basics like flash red, county cream, black, etc. you can't go wrong. What I did when I started was I bought the 18 piece variety sampler pack of USL from fieldsfabric.com for $20 so that way you can experiment with different colors. I was able to make 18 bags with that sampler pack too so it's not to bad of a deal

I don't think they sell aqua on fields anymore but NEVER buy that shit. Also stay away from purple shadow and suny sienna. I just bought about 7 more colors yesterday including topiary, ceramic something and saffron. I know nothing about these colors but I will mostly certainly keep you updated. I have black noir, country cream, white, atlantis, petit pois and colonial red at the moment and they're all great colors though.

I think I just might try that variety pack. Seems like a great choice since I don't know what I really want!

Not a problem man, I just wanna see modified again like it was back in its prime. There's still a bunch of really awesome people lurking about though lol.

Wish I could have been here for that.

yeah the good ol days!

keep in mind that the most durable colors are also the thickest. this may requiere some different sewing technique. also more break in to get the bag on its prime! combination is the key. get thick stuff for the popping pents and thin stuff for the hexes.
