Try looking at Denim fabric,,(blue jeans material)

Big Duck Canvas the #12 Cotton Duck should be abut right and the Army canvas is slightly thinner. Great people to deal with and they will send you samples.

Just head out to your favorite fabric store or if your closest Walmart still has fabric, with a measuring caliper. Like already mentioned denim or the canvas will work great and are in the .025 plus range. Buy half a yard, wash and dry it and give it a go. Cut the patch at the barrel.

I haven't bought premade patches in years. Find a fabric that works for you gun and buy a couple of yards.

Best of luck
