FWIW: I thought the camo fans might benefit from this. I just found that Hancock Fabrics stocks an olive drab mosquito netting. Specs as follows:
Weight: 2.5oz/sqyd (probably a little lighter, they were generous when they cut my 4 yards)
Width: 55"
Color: Olive Drab
Material: Polyester
Hand: Surprisingly soft
Mesh: 337 holes/sq inch (25x13.5) (see notes below)
Price: $3.99/yd
Please note the mesh. This is NOT noseeum but IS denser than standard mosquito netting. If you suffer with noseeum's then this isn't what you want.
Personally, noseeums aren't a problem where I camp and I prefer the better airflow of this material. I've been trying to find a better color than black or white for a Marpat camo HH clone I'm building.
The saleslady at Hancock was very helpful. She told me that although this is a regularly stocked product, they've been unable to get any resupply lately. I had earlier struck out getting olive drab noseeum netting from Seattle Fabrics who also told me that they could no longer get it.
Sounds like if you want it, now might be the time to stock up. If you don't have a Hancock Fabrics near you, you can order it online here. If possible, I'd suggest you go to a local store. Mine also had a forest green version that had a much harder "hand". I don't know which you'd get ordering online.
