More like the waxed canvas used in this bag. http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/waxed-canvas-lunch-bag.jpg
I’m not sure the link you provided is the same thing.

If it’s waxed jacket fabric, it is fairly tough and I’ve used it with great success for the undersides of picnic blankets. It’s much heavier weight than nylon jacket fabric, and very densely woven.

In the Outerwear section, The RainShed mentions a type of waxed canvas. It’s possible to buy a sample of it.
There is also a webpage that tells you how to make the stuff yourself: http://www.ehow.com/how_5073541_make-waxed-canvas.html
Random thought-would you happen to know of a manufacturer of outdoor gear that might sell scraps off to the public? You are in the US, so I think you might find some prospects.
