Need to locate some Automotive quality (Alcarta?) Suede fabric for a new install. Anyone know of a Canadian distributor of such stuff?

Thanks much

^ It has higher wear resistance and a UV rating hopefully suitable for somethingexposed to the sun all day everyday.

I know Tim Baillie got some right from Sparco when he did the Focus on www.
Make sure it is real Alcantara you get as UltraSuede looks pretty much the same but will fade rapidly in sunlight.

I know this may sound weird, but I've never used the stuff, although I hear it's the shiz.

Terry, try contacting Mike at Precision Acoustics in Montreal. I know he uses it and gets it somewhere in Canada, but I don't know where.
