Can't help with your query, Nessmuck, but any store who sells Denim in ounce weights, sells exceptional patching material in my opinion.
I like the 10, 12 and 14ounce versions. I use the 14 ounce, for the small 15 bore (.675") balls in my .14 bore (.690")rifle. I measure the
14 ounce at .034".
I also found some .022" light canvas that shoots just as well, but is slightly harder loading than the 10 ounce denim which also measures
in that realm. I use both of those materials with balls from .005" to .008" under bore size.

Ron is the man.  I love his patching, and have a lot ahead.  I buy the plain (not treated) 100% cotton canvas.  The densest material I have ever run across.  His prices are really not bad, compared to good cloth at JoAnn.  The best news is that it WORKS.  Never burns through.  Don't both with email or his website.  I don't think he uses them.  Call in the evening.  Leave a message if he does not reply.  My friend David put me onto this material, and I have tried most everything else, and returned to this cloth.  No need to experiment any more.  God Bless,   Marc

Stoner...what thickness is the 10-10 duck canvas?  I have tried artist linen but founded it to be to thick for my .54.

Cotton compresses easier  than linen. Thus a cotton patch of the same weight will load easier. There are many online sources for linen such as fabric-store (dot) com. They will sell small swatches to allow testing. Linen has advantages over cotton if you can find the right thickness. With a .526 ball I can use this companies heavy linen canvas. But while it seems to start OK it does tend the go down harder. Perhaps its filling the grooves better.

A friend out at Friendship turned me on to Joann Fabrics #20 drill cloth. This is used to make pockets in jeans so it's thin but tough. The weave is ultra tight. Hold it up to the sun and you can't see daylight. It measures .018 after washing it.
