I work in a canvas shop and have never heard of Beauty Mark before. But there are a lot of things I've never heard of before!

Sunbrella is the Glen Raven Mills fabric offering to the outdoor market. Dickson offers "Dicklon", there is another called Para. They're ALL 100% solution dyed acrylic and they're all basically "kissing cousins", standards in the industry.

The brand name doesn't really matter. What MATTERS is that the fabric is 100% solution dyed ACRYLIC. That's the important part. As is 100% sun-fast polyester thread in at least 92 weight, preferably 138 (heavier, but not commonly used).
