Yeah, I get that, but like it's litteraly the same graduations except it's marked 'm' instead of 'cm'.

Seems more useful with less trivial scales, like 1:25 and others.

Rainbows my go-to. On pair #4 in 15ish years walking almost exclusively in them. Take’s a couple weeks to really break them in but after that they’re good for years and 1000’s of miles. This current set’s strap should have broken years ago but they’re still trucking. Back up set waiting patiently in closet. Worth at least trying out for $60

Hi, hijacking the top post to thank everyone for the responses so far. Opinions seem to be it is either muslin ( a type of cotton) or linen (flax).

I'm going to get samples of both to test, although in my search I came across a 300gsm Italian linen sheet which looks incredible.

Someone asked about a label, all it says is "Duro superb quality guaranteed R.T.S.A tested"

Of course they’re not BIFL but they’re still what this group was made for, durable and well made products.

I’m impressed with mine so far, aside from spending half the time covered in cow shit they’ve also been used around fireworks and are still holding up pretty well - though whilst greasing them I did notice one of the heels is a bit damaged

Edit: I’m very jealous your employer gives you them for free! Good on them
