Loneta or canvas

Several years ago I tried to find canvas locally.  Closest I came was called Lana which is a lighter weight polyester.  A fabric store behind the stationary market in Chapala. I switched to untempered masonite panels which the lumber yard cut for me.   I do not notice much difference during painting altho I had to gesso them.  I did not have the hassle of getting streachers, it was a lot cheaper.  I gesso with a paint roller, have used white acrylic housepaint and/or gesso and depending on how much I sand the surface I can control the texture to be similar to canvas.  Canvas is too much hassle down here and I see no reason to use it.
