Not just that, but there are stains that can get under the canvas and then they are permanent. The jacquard can be washed.Yeah, I agree that I doubt jacquard will make a big comeback, it's too bad really. Coated canvas is more sturdy, but I always seem to gravitate back towards my jacquard slgs. The jacquard did fray at corners, but the coated canvas has that glued edging-stitching stuff that falls off after a while which stinks too.
