The story was they were made of silk for durability, being water resistant, but also because silk will fold and compress down very very small for a given size of map, making them easier to hide, and the folds were less likely than other materials to weaken or fail on the creases.Rich Jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-13753798058643782222018-04-06T19:14:14.881-07:002018-04-06T19:14:14.881-07:00These look surprisingly useful.
