Actually, I received a mini-catalog in the mail last week, with pictures of these new fabrics. Canvas fabrics. And I thought, gee, too bad these are canvas, 'cause otherwise I'd order them! And then I read the descriptions that the manufacturer wrote, and got to the part of "We're sewing boxer shorts ..." and though, ok, I know guys like to "be tough" but ... canvas boxer shorts? Wouldn't that be a little... irritating?

So I called Benartex and asked if these were really canvas or if they were quilting cottons. I was delighted to find out they were actually quilting cottons. And I suggested that they might want to do a little bit of clarification in their advertising, to head off more of this confusion.
