Purple ripstop?

**Yukon** · 03-19-2012, 08:26

Has anyone order from the eBay store "Emmakites"? She has a purple ripstop listed that I am interested in. My fiancee has demanded that I make her a Blackbird Tribute with a purple outer layer and a black inner layer, so I'm trying to find the purple material. Any help people can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Looks like Hancock might have what I need. They are pretty reputable right?

Hancocks may be your ticket. I've used purple 1.9 oz ripstop from our local Hancock's Fabrics... Haven't used it for a hammock yet though...just stuff sacks and such...

I would like to get it in a 1.1oz if I can, she is a tiny little thing and a double layer 1.9 would be heavier than mine lol

The only person on ebay that I have done any business with is fabricsupplier, here is the link for their purple ripstophttp://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=...fabricsupplier

My wife has a 4 season OES tarp made with purple 1.1 oz silnylon from Quest Outfitters and a 3 season Incubator UQ made with purple 1.1 oz ripstop also from Quest.

edit - raiffnuke beat me to it.

If you purchase from ebay's fabricsupplier (I've ordered purple from there), make sure you specify that you need two 3.5yd pieces or one 7yd piece. I ordered 7yd of some material from there for a DIY DL and ended up with two pieces, one of which wasn't long enough to make a layer out of.
