I would be very interested in finding a vendor that sells a hemp canvas pop
top. That's a great idea! The hemp jeans, belts and shirts that I have owned
are  far superior to any other fabric that I have ever seen with respect to
durability. Maybe some industrious list member might consider not only pop tops
made of hemp but also side tents made of hemp canvas as well. They would
probably sell like hemp cakes, uh, I mean hot cakes and be worth any additional
cost with respect to durability. When you consider that many westfalia  owners
whether driving air-cooled or water-cooled vehicles would like to use  such
materials it then becomes a matter of marketing and production. Anyone know  of
any vendors out there using hemp for poptops or side tents or is this a
niche that exists for another entrepreneur?
