suede-like upholstery source?
What's a source for that suede-like fabric that is on R1 seats and some aftermarket steering wheels, I don't know the correct name for it, Alcantara makes it too but I'm looking for a US source

This is a bit after the fact, but if you do a search in Yahoo for "ultrasuede", you'll come up with several vendors. Generally, the price is $60-$65 a yard, but there is one place out in California that sells it for $45 a yard. Cannot remember the name off hand, but it's owned by a Japanese woman and she uses her name in the store title. It's not cheap stuff, but well worth the price.

Hey Gordon!
Try doing a search for ultrasuede HP, that seems to be the stuff used for upholstery in aircraft and yachts. I haven't gotten it yet, waiting for summer, but here's a few places I found. If you have to order a certain amount to get a better deal, or find a better price, let me know, I'm looking at black or dark grey to cover all the interior panels (bins, doors, cargo divider, etc). I'd like to go with the HP but might go with a lighter grade because I'm not putting it on the seats (yet) and might be easier to contour...
http://www.fieldsfabrics.com/ultrasuede.htm $40 per yard (36" x 45"), a few colors are on special for $30 per yard. I'm not sure if this is the HP grade stuff, their front page says they carry HP though
http://www.fabricshoppe.com/fabric/ultrasuede/intro.asp $59 per yard
http://www.gulffabrics.com/ no prices
http://www.tapiscorp.com/ no prices

If you don't mind could you describe the different thicknesses and feel of the samples, which samples do you have, and where did you get them?
Thanks, Bob
