I'd place the fabric James Baroud uses in the proprietary category along with Autohome. James Baroud is a new product to the US, from personal observation it appears to be very heavy, but the other properties such as breathability, water resistance, color, mold resistance, UV resistance, wear due to abrasion, etc are unknown. The fabric also seems to be easily damaged.
Howling Moon makes a good tent, they use a lighter weight rip stop poly-cotton. Middle of the road tent fabric, much better than the Chinese fabric, but not as good as the in house milled and treated fabrics.
