Make you own gear? Surplus fabrics

[Graham O]

I've been having a clear out at work and have a number of roll ends of fabric suitable for outdoor gear and projects. There are microfibres, polycottons, nylons, PVC coated nylons, PU coated nylons, breathable nylons, breathable polyesters, Goretex storm lining and some 3 layer waterproof breathable fabrics. Some of the rolls have 2m on, some have 20m+. There's no value to me in them, so free to a good home. I'd like them to be spread around the outdoor community. All you have to pay is the carriage for them or you can collect from NE Wales.

Tell me what you want and I'll tell you if I've got it.

What a generous offer :You_Rock_

Have you got anything suitable for a shirt?

If you do I'd be very interested please

It's not so much generous as I just hate skipping it when I know someone else would make use of it. These were all kept because "it'll come in handy one day", but some have been here for 15 years and I don't think that day will ever come.

I've got some Beaver fabric which is a cotton nylon and very hard wearing, but it's orange or purple. Nothing else I'm afraid.

I'm very interested in the PU coated Nylons and standard nylons/polyesters. Happy to collect.

Somehow I don't think I'd look too good in a bush shirt in orange or purple

Thanks anyway

Tarps - yes, loads of green waterproof breathable polyester, blue nylon in various lengths etc. May not be ideal, but for making prototypes, idea.

I've also got some Ventile smocks with matching fibre pile jumpers to go underneath and I'm open to offers on these. What's wrong with them? Size XXS so suitable for 8-10 years olds, but if your youngster(s) want to get out with you, they could be ideal.

What have you got in the way of Polycottons?

I would love some polycotton buddy.

Okay, thank you. I've got someone coming tonight for some, but I'll put your name on anything left. I'm near Holywell, at CH8 7GR, but I really don't want them hanging around and need them gone by Christmas.

What have you got in the way of Polycottons?

The main polycotton is some 84" wide navy lightweight polycotton or the cotton nylons above. These fabrics are only minor products for us, so not a lot of them.

Ok mate, thanks for that.

If you could let me know what you have left. I'm a good way away but any excuse to get to the mountains is good by me.

Not my colours - I will pass
But - thanks for offering these up

If you are coming along the A55 into North Wales, we are 10 minutes off it and I can be here late at night if it helps.

Anything you are after in particular?

You are probably only 30 or 40 mins away from me so I may pop over and take a look. I'm after making a tarp and polycotton would be great for it as it can be used near a fire. I will Pm you now.

I'll happily take all the Goretex and tri-laminate waterproof breathable fabric off your hands! Just need a shipping estimate and to know how much of each you have available

 

[sapper326]

Hi Graham,
I'd be interested in any waterproof nylon suitable for a tarp? Many thanks Si

 

[Graham O]

Hi Everyone. Thank you for your interest and I think that most of the fabrics are probably spoken for. It's probably best if I close the offer now until I've completed the sort out and know what I have and who is having what.

I'll be in touch with everyone individually.

Thanks

Graham

My 8 year old would love a ventile smock - please let me know what you are after.
