All canvas is cloth, but obviously all cloth is not canvas.  You should be 
able to get a sample of fabric (probably in the desired color) before 
committing to an order.  If you can't, be careful that you find out just what 
you should expect to receive for your money.  I wouldn't be at all surprised 
if there are materials for "cloth" tops that are far superior to canvas and 
look better too.  by the way, Canvas comes in a variety of weights and 
weaves.  I believe it is 100% cotton by definition.  For most things, I 
prefer a comparable 60% cotton/40% polyester blend in appropriate 
weight--lighter weight (than similar 100% cotton), stronger, and crease 
resistant.

Canvas and cloth aren't the same thing, but one isn't necessarily better than 
the other, either.
