I am guessing but, early days they used Irish linen, Dacron etc were natural based fabrics and hence shrunk with dope. later on man made fibres such as Ceconite and Stitz etc (polyester fibres) are heat shrunk then built up with dope coats Ceconite etc is probably at least half the price of linen so Irish linen is normally used for originality purposes. Not normally a good idea to cover wooden structures with Ceconite,
