Default Dirt cheap ripstop....$2.50 a yard!

Go on eBay and search for "nylon fabric". There are sellers have auctions for "heavy duty" nylon ripstop....in reality its 1.9 oz PU coated ripstop. Sure, its not 1.1oz silnylon, but its still less than $3 a yard! They've also got supplex for less than a 1\3 of OWFINC cost...

Just thought id share.

Brian

If you want cheap nylon, you sometimes can get it at Walmart on their dollar table. I have been able to get rip stop, coated, non coated and non ripstop at various times. It is good to play around with or use as cheap ground cover.

Beckon: I know buy all of my fabric (~100yds per month) from Noah Lamport...they sell silnylon for $2.75 a yard! Great service, great fabric, great price

Brian,
have you ever ordered the olive green silnylon from noah? Is it darker than the kelly...more like a forest?

Scott
