I've gotten fabric samples from predator themselves, gray wolf woolens, and day one camo. I bet you could order fabric by the yard from any of them.

I was thinking I could get some from grey wolf maybe.  I have the wolf skin and love it.  Is there a difference in the grey wolf woolens wolf skin and the day one buck swade??
I called predator but all there clothing is manufactured some place else and they don't carry yard fabric

gray wolf wolfskin is very different from the bucksuede. Wolfskin=awesome, bucksuede is stiff and crinkly and gets worse in the cold. Dayone light fleece is more similar to wolfskin, just a bit thinner and probably less wind resistant

St. Joe River Bows is a sponsor and a Predator dealer. Maybe they could hook you up?

I also would love to get some nice camo material by the yard to make some stuff. I have been wondering where to get it from.

A nice fleece material in camo would be awesome. I want to do some modifications on one of my day packs with it.

Please post if you get any sources.

The original Fall Brown is going to be next to impossible to find.

Not impossible at all. I am sitting on (2) 8 yd sections at 60" mill width.

Ahhh, the things you sometimes acquire from the archery sales rep days. If I had to nail down a date that I bought it, it was likely 1988. That was the year that they trademarked the pattern I believe.

Also have an 8 yd section of the original Trebark "corn" pattern camo. Going to have to find some cornfield duck hunters for that however.

Never found a woman that could sew    :)

Around the year 2000, when I heard Predator was going to discontinue the Fall Brown pattern, I loaded up on 10 pairs each of (shirts, pants, gloves and caps) to last me the rest of my lifetime.    :D  

I've also got Spring Green and Fall Gray.    :cool:   A man can never have enough great camo.    :thumbsup:

I bought my fabric from predator last spring, All I did was email them, and they told me how much they had on hand, and I then bought what I needed.
