Thank you very much for your input, Ken.
The finer weave material was indeed used later in the war for the second version of printed Pegasus. I didn't know this was also the case for other printed insignias like shoulder titles.
Would you happen to know when the decision was made? Are the documents you refer to available for consultation at the War Museum in Ottawa?
Cheers
