Source for fabric strap materials

[9am53]

I would like to start making my own fabric nato style straps.  I have an industrial sewing maching that could handle webbing no problem, but every source of webbing I've found is in non-metric sizing.  There are few I found on the various chinese sites that has 20mm strap material, but not 18 or 22 which is prodominantly what I'm looking for, and they dont have any patterns.  Does anybody know where I can find a source for standard watch strap sized fabric webbing and the hardware?  I can get thread easily...and I'm in canada, if its relevant.

This is not something I have ever looked for, but as it happens, you might get some product leads here. (Not China, but India).

Also try polyproylene webbing, canvas webbing and other similar search terms.

I suspect if you contact any of the manufacturers direct, and are placing a reasonable order, they will weave whatever width and pattern you want. I'm sure there must be suppliers in the US and Canada too.

thanks

 

I have a nylon strap and it needs to be cleaned regularly,, id prefer a polyester or polypropylene strap.  I wasnt planning on starting a business, but I suppose if I could think of enough uses for the fabric I could order a fair bit
