Default Wholesale suede? where to buy

i know kind of a weird post huh? i just got some corbeua(sorry if spelled incorrect) legacy racing seats, and a wolf 8 point roll cage on order.Next i want to order sub frame connectors so the roll cage ties in hence the 8 point. The seats are black...ug.i want to recover the dash and door panels and inside panels etc in red and beige suede. The seats i dont know. Either red leather with beige suede inserts or all suede. Before i take it to the shop i want to try out my skills because i have some experience with this. But i dont want a hugely expensive mistake for a worst case scenario. Does anyone know where to buy genuine suede at a wholesale price? ebay had some that were like 20 square feet for around $60 but i missed out. Please post all links or pm me!

go to Jo-Fabric. haha, im actually serious! Any fabric store will have it. I went in there to get some to do my stereo and door panels in my accord and was amazed at their selection. They had 10 different style of black suede fabric!! I ended up getting some that was half off for 10$/yard. Just remember to get way more than you think you need, you will end up using lots more then you first imagine.

I would be hesitant to buy "suede cloth" its not normally called that. Also, anywhere you buy it from will send you a sample to check out, so get one of those before you buy it anywhere.

I still recommend finding a store if you can, they have way more there than online at either site. Plus you get to see and feel to make sure its EXACTLY what you want.
