October Country sells bulk .018 ticking.

The pockets out of most worn out bluejeans and bibs would likely be the very drill fabric that you are looking for and I would suspect that 100% cotton khaki pants are the same stuff, that's what the original khakis were made from, if my memory is working right.
Someone in another thread mentioned (I don't know how thick it is after shrinkage cloth is measured by weight not thickness) this- https://www.wawak.com/pressing-spot...avy-weight-drilltwill-cloth-74-oz/#sku=lng214

If you order online, you won't know what you're getting until you measure the thickness. Maybe you'll get 0.018", maybe you won't. Blue pillow ticking isn't always blue pillow ticking. You have to inspect the weave and measure the thickness.

October Country sells 0.018" fabric strips but you'll pay a significant premium for knowing exactly what you're ordering.

Ever consider buying pre-cut patches instead of fabric? In your situation that might be your best option, unless you don't mind throwing away fabric that isn't what you wanted.
