Sites selling outdoor fabric
I am such a good girl...I am not hijacking the thread on Permatex seam sealer to respond to a question about fabrics...I thought I'd share what info I have on outdoor fabrics here...
Outdoor Wilderness Fabric, Inc is a good place to start...they also sell zippers, cool hardware and looky, clear vinyl for windows in fabrics...
Seattle Fabrics sells stuff that more oriented to the boating crowd but they have mosquito no-see-um mesh in various colors, which is cool....
And Specialty Outdoors kindly lists many other resources...
I hope these help some of you looking for fabric resources...

Fabric Warehouse in Auburn, Maine
I don't think they do mail order, but I've gotten tremendous prices on fabric from Fabric Warehouse in Auburn, Maine. They typically have only urethane or polyurethane coated nylons rather than silnylon, but it's priced by the pound or very cheap by the yard.

By far the cheapest source I could find and shipping was amazingly fast! I didn't expect to see my material until at least the end of the week but it was here on Tuesday! Great people to do business with and I'll be buying all my material from them in the future.

Hi Guys,
I'd like to have a go at making some gear with Cuben Fibre.
I've found this supplier which sells Cuben by the Yard...

Does anyone know of other Vendors selling Cuben Fibre for DIY projects?
PS. I'm in Australia so they'll need to be happy shipping Internationally....

@simonMc,
It's nice to see that you are starting to get a bit more stock on your web site; but frankly if you are going to blow your own trumpet... the least you can do is be honest and up-front about what you are doing.... ie; blatant self-promotion...
I read your post earlier in the day when in it's original and complete form. Looks like you have edited it or been censored?? Fair enough too.
I'm looking for specific products... If you carry in stock what I'm looking for and your price is right, I may order from you... But I'm not going to go chasing after you... You'll need to find a way to keep me up to date of 'developments', news, etc...............
