That is almost 8 ounces per yard.   I figure that this is WWII because I Cut a piece off of it a while back to repair an M421 Diamond Elbow Patch and the end ( not the serge ends) of it had Numbers written in Cursive fountain Ink pen that had faded.  there is still a small ink printing of about 4 numbers or letters in one corner but is not legible. But other than that and the way the Serge edges looks on each side lead me to believe that this is a NOS piece of US military Poplin.  The weave Matched my Jacket perfectly, but the color was a little darker than mine, (because mine was pretty worn) but I got the color close after artificially lightening it, by a bunch of washing the piece to match. There is probably enough here to make or have an M421 Jacket Made.  I had some Khaki Tan cotton Thread on a cone spool from WWII too, but I cannot find it for the life of me.  Find a Zipper, some Original Thread and buttons and you can make a beautiful Jacket. If you recieve this fine piece of Cloth and  you don't agree with my explanation, send it back to me for a refund of your initial purchase price and original shipping and I will split the return shipping cost with you.  I am positive that you will love this.  Thanks for looking.
