    Silnylon from Europe

    Hi everybody.
    Does anybody know where could I order silnylon from Europe?
    Until now I've used extremtextil.de, but they sell only 65 g/sqm silnylon now.

    I don't know. But extremtextil is the only place I've found it. I've checked profqbrics a few times and all they've ever had is heavy stuff, very expensive and didn't look as good as extremtextil.

    How much are you looking for? I've still got a little left.

    OK. That makes me think maybe it's not a bad idea to start importing and selling it myself.
    Who would be interested in that?

    Yes, do it!!

    I often order from dutchwaregear.com or diygearsupply.com for low shipping costs - not much more than in Germany. Incidentally, these are two are very helpful and extremely recommended - really!
    The shipping / travel but will take up to four weeks - unfortunately. For that you get but what you need!!
    This should work just as well for you.
    Sorry for my bad english

    You could also check with ripstopbytheroll.com. They post on here and they will ship international at reasonable rates.

    Just contact him.

    Cheers

    Yeah, I'll be placing an order from them soon. I've exchanged a few emails with Kyle (owner) and he is really great to deal with. Got some samples too and the quality seems fantastic.
    The main problem ordering outwith the EU is the combination of shipping and import fees. If you only order a little, then shipping is very high (per yard) but no import costs. If you order a lot then shipping is lower (again, per yard) but it costs at least 20% of the product cost + a fee from the shipping company.
