The manufacturer catalogs will likely have the rub rating (if the
manufacturer supplies it). Same may be true whether the fabric is UV
resistant. Ask for assistance. A better fabric store will have
knowledgable help that can look up the info. Additionally, they'll
know which fabrics are appropriate for upholstery, as opposed to
clothes or drapery.  I'll hunt down the maker of the tweeds I've got
on my camper (it might be Absecon Mills) . I know that the tweeds
used are used by several other uphostery places besides Sewfine. You
can see some of the variety of fabric colors at <http://

and at

As I recall, the manufacturers catalog in the fabric store had even
more.
