message: Jute is the most dominating bast fiber in the world. Therefore, most burlap/hessian/gunny & sackcloth can be found to be made of Jute. But, burlap & sackcloth can be made of other bast fibers also, like Hemp, Kenaf, flax etc.
Sackcloth is the material to make sackings or the cloth derived from sacks. Burlap/hessian/gunny (Fabric of Jute or Bast Fiber) is made for other purposes also. e.g. Shadecloth or Canvas/Tarpaulin, Nursery Blind, Trims (Webbing), etc. Therefore, Sackcloth is a type of Burlap and all sackcloths are burlap, but all burlap are not sackcloth.

:I have modified redirections for sackcloth (or sack cloth) to Cilice. When most people search the term, they are looking for the Bible-related meaning. --Algorithme (talk) 14:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This page is pretty awful in its quality.  It almost feels like an Everything2 entry.  Specifics: The "Other" category should probably be deleted as it doesn't really add much.  Quoting random things that also are called "burlap" isn't very informative without further exposition.  And the individual sentences at the top are disjoint and unorganized.  I understand that the article is a stub, but it's a very low quality stub. SeanAhern 11:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: If Hessian is the more common name (The article states this and cites a reference) why is the page called Burlap? Burlap isn't in concise dictionaries in the UK and i've only ever seen it used by William Faulkner so I assume its an Americanism.The article currently at Hessian isn't about Hessian in any correct English sence.(Morcus (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The more common name would be burlap, because it's an Americanism. American population > UK population. —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 20:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I added  to the claim that farmers during the Great Depression sewed their burlap sacks into clothes. The use of flour sacks as material for clothing in the early to mid-20th century is well documented, but those sacks were of printed cotton, not burlap. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but a few minutes of Googling hasn't turned up credible evidence for burlap-sack clothing having been common during the Depression. 206.208.105.129 (talk) 18:43, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crocus? 

message: The article goes on an on about hessian / burlap being made of jute. But in reality is can be made of jute, it can be made of hemp, it can be made of a mixture of hemp and jute, and it can even be made of flax. If the meaning "coarse fabric used for sacks made of jute" is some sort of technical jargon used in the textile industry, the article should say so; because in normal speech burlap / hessian is just coarse fabric used for sacks, regardless of what it is made of.
