Port Authority is Sanmar's house brand. www.sanmar.com If you don't use them yet you should check into it. They are my #1 supplier and they have a warehouse in TX, Dallas I think. You get free shipping on all orders over $200. As far as the 600 denier it sews great. I normally don't even use any backing on 600 denier bags and have put 50k designs on them before and they turn out very nice.
