The fabric is called 840 X-Tra Tuff ballistic nylon. There are two kinds of stitching. One is a thick, tarred black thread, then there is the final stitching with a thin upholstery thread. Both are so strong you couldn't break it if you tried. Well, maybe you could break the upholstery thread if you really, really tried.
The skin doesn't get doped. It gets three coats of a 2-part urethane. I need to set aside about 5 hours for the coating, so I'll have to wait till next weekend.
