US Cordura source

[JerryBaumchen 1,446]

Hi folks,

I quite often get asked for sources of fabrics, etc. And I sometimes ask the same of others.

Here is a source of 1,000 d Cordura with 'fairly' good prices for small quantity purchases:

http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/Solid-Color-CORDURA-Nylon-Fabrics

Browse their website as they also have other fabrics that may be of interest to riggers, etc.

I would suggest that you do not try to call them; almost impossible to get through. They do prefer to have all orders go thru the website.

I have no financial or any other type of interest in this company.

PS) And I found them on a recommendation from another rigger.

Another good one is Seattlefabrics.com, from whom I've bought lots of fabric.

Yup, and I have bought from them in the past.

But at $2.00 less per yard, Rockywoods is a little better price structure.

What about a good source for buying canopy material?

Hi airdrop,

How much yardage are you looking to buy?

For small orders, I just go to Para-Gear or from various canopy mfrs.

Just wondering if there was anyone out there other than para-gear. They tend to charge a lot in shipping and now have a minimal order amount which can make it difficult for that odd color you need. I live close by flight concepts so maybe Red would sell me some when I need it. Thanks!
