simulating rough texture on clothes

[godfather]

At 120mm I would like to simulate a rough texture such as canvas. I was thinking of using surfacer 500 any other suggestions?

You could use an acrylic medium and stipple it on. If you want something more subtle, just stipple on your acrylic undercoat. It may take a couple of coats to achieve the "nap" you're after.

I've heard some ppl use talcum powder to create rougher textured, such as wool...

These work great for woollen fabrics with an irregular nap.

There is no technique I'm aware of that will allow you to simulate the weave of canvas, and perhaps you shouldn't even try given scale effects. You could paint very thin, carefully-controlled strokes at right angles to each other to build up an illusion of the warp and weft threads if you're ambitious but at anything less that 1/20 scale I wouldn't even attempt it... even assuming I thought I could do it consistently enough.
