Where to buy lightweight *uncoated* ripstop nylon (or Pertex) by the metre?

[Flannelfoot]

Hi

I want to try my hand at making my own double quilt. I've already ordered the Climashield Apex insulation from extremtextil but stupidly assumed it would be easy to find a suitable uncoated, lightweight ripstop nylon in the UK so didn't include any in my order from them.

I'm looking for something around the 30-35 gsm mark (1.1oz/yard-ish), uncoated & fully breathable, with a ripstop weave.

All I can now find in the UK is either 60 gsm silicone/PU coated stuff, or lightweight 30D ripstop "Parachute" nylon which is I believe is silicone coated, but not to the extent of regular "silnylon". It'll probably be be a condensation nightmare to sleep in, though.

I can't believe it doesn't exist in the UK. Do you guys have any recommendations? I've checked the regular places (Point North, Penine Outdoor, google, Ebay, etc.)

Any ideas?
Cheers

I've bought the cheap ripstop nylon from ebay to make a DIY. It was not 1.1oz for sure, but as far as I can tell it's not coated either.

Have you googled for sailing and kite speciality stores?

No idea where to find it in the UK, though this was linked to in another forum... US based.

Some pretty good looking stuff on these sites. Wish I could sew! 😃

Never too late to learn, darning socks is a art form though.
