I'm including a link to Cordura, so that you can see other uses for tough fabric, such as luggage. It also shows a close-up of the weave of the fabric on the home page.

Edit: I just called one of the companies to confirm what I am suggesting. The slick or 'coated' side goes to the inside. The woven fabric side is the 'right side out'. In other words, if we were making a jacket, the coated side would not be the side that people see when we wear the jacket. Have I totally confused you? If so, my apologies.
Thanks Jane. I've got it going the right way, that confirms it for me. I guess my light here is so bad that I really couldn't tell at first.
