Reproduction corn sack?

[rebracer]

Ive read of soldiers during the war cutting corn sacks and such to make towels. Ive looked for a reproduction corn sack or similar sugar sack of a size that would allow for cutting to a hand towel size, but cant seem to find anything. Has anyone seen something like this recently?

The Liberty Rifles occasionally sell copies of CS QM sacks, usually through the Trade blanket pages on FB.

It's been 20 years, but back then, huck towels were acceptable in the authentic crowd.

It seems like they are still ok for the authentic crowd.

Huck towel, like a surgical towel?

Only in the sense that both are made of cotton. I looked on line, but couldn't find the kind I had.

I think a good substitute would be the dish towels from Family Heirloom Weavers - 3 for $35. They look like they're the right size.
