Good place to buy speaker grill fabric/cloth?

Looked on parts express.. the cheaper variety, people have complained that it isn't really black.. more of a dark brown tint. And the more expensive "mellotone" variety, I'm not sure. Don't want it to be a lot different/thicker than what's already on my other Onix Rockets.

Anybody have any suggestions where to buy?

Also tried JoAnn's fabrics locally and they didn't have anything.

    Last night my girlfriend said she wish she knew where the grill fabric from our A9's was sourced from because she wants to cover our equipment with the material on the front of our stand.

    I wonder where Polk gets the fabric from. Would be awesome to buy in bulk.

    JoAnn fabrics and you probably have to ask. The online sources mentioned above are solid as well.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I really like the stuff that Madisound sells. It is not as thick as the stuff from Hancock Fabrics and it is true black, unlike what Partsexpress sells.

    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    I bought some really nice material from an auto-upholstery supply shop. I was buying some trim for my older Jaguar and saw a 3 ring binder on the counter that had many samples of speaker grill cloth in different colors. They cut it from a bolt right in front of me. For about 25 bucks I got enough to cover 4 Magnepan SMGA panels (I had my tailor sew it into four socks).

    The material I got feels soft and luxurious for little $.

    Great find and there is probably a shop like this everywhere.
