Vintage speaker grill fabric source?

[biscuithead]

I picked up a pair of old University speakers... Someone had put some really bad, modern fabric on the grills. Where can I get some late 50s fabric?
It needs to be about 3 foot by 4 foot...

joannes has some nice burlap that works well. a fancier alternative is the 123stich fabric discussed on this thread:

you can also buy fabric for guitar cabinets; many of the fabrics have a nice vintage vibe to them.

The lambswool in the above thread would be great. Another suggestion is Hessian fabric. Probably cheaper too.

Lots of places sell grill cloth for restoring guitar amps, if your looking for a more vintage look

Parts express has some. I just used it to cover some acoustic panels and it is by far the best I have used. Looks perfect on old guitar amps. There are pics posted in the reviews section.

I just checked out parts express... I've used them for so many other things... I don't know why I didn't think of them...
Anyhow - Thanks!
