What's the best source for 210D Dyneema X gridstop? I've checked around the usual fabric sites that I'm aware of, and Thru-Hiker is the only one who has it. I know that they sell excellent, first-quality stuff, but they charge $27/yard.
That seems like a lot for a fabric that's been around for quite a while and has been superseded by a number of others for some of its chief applications.
Anyone know of any other sources for the material? Thanks in advance.

The 200D Oxford DIY Gear Supply sells is a decent substitute, as is this (http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Kits/All-Ripstop-Nylon-Fabrics/400-x-300-Denier-Cross-Dyed-Nylon-Polyester-Mini-Diamond-Coated-Ripstop-Fabric) stuff from Rockywoods.

That's exactly what I had in mind (that and a few other minor applications since I would already have it).

RBTR is selling 300D and 420D diamond ripstop in half yard increments that is also a good substitute for patches/pockets at $6.00 per half yard.http://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/300d-diamond-ripstop-black
