Do you want to do Ultrasuede or Alcantara? HUGE difference in price and also wearability/UV stability. Alcantara is the stuff used in the higher end 'supercars' and ultrasuede is used on everyday home furnishings. Both are synthetic. The former can be found online if you look for it and the latter can be found at any fabric store (ie, JoAnns, Hancock, Hobby Lobby, etc)

Just hit up any fabric distributor, or a tailor.
Look online for ones in Philly that'll ship.
I say that, only 'cus Philly's full of 'em; theres an entire couple blocks near South St. (S. Philly)
thats "nothing-but" fabric shops..
