Fabric sources

[Josh J]

Besides ripstop by the roll,  what are other sources for tech fabric like silpoly,  xenon,  ect..

these days I mostly buy from RSBTR

M50 and 900FP down from thru-hiker.com

questoutfitters

owfinc

seattlefabrics

rainshed

tentpoletechnologies – they have a cool facility in Vancouver WA

dutchweargear – the only one I haven’t ordered from

a couple I’ve ordered from no longer in business

hmmm…  I have a problem

I’ll plug Dutchware. They have Argon 90 (40 CFM makes it about perfect for active wind shirts) and it has pretty good HH at like 350mm if I remember?) Hexon 1.0 and 1.6, and some others including Xpac.

Im on a quest for ultralight swim shorts when I cant go au-nautral and just realized they make shorts out of Argon 90 and Hexon 1.0 that weigh 30g. Im picking up a pair!

Dutch isnt mentioned on here too much, but I have a lot of their gear and its top notch. same with Hammock Gear. Fabric pricing seems reasonable.

Thanks!  I forgot about dutch and wasn’t sure about his fabric but good to know!

Now for a design and get better at sewing!

[Jerry Adams]

Maybe some of those sources have cheaper fabric to practice with
