    They don't?

    http://www.alcantara.com/alcantara/d...tml?lang=en_US

    Actually, it looks like the US is not listed there.

    Call them, send them an email, or Google "where to buy Alcantara" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

    When I was at 1552 we used Ultrasuede from Toray. They had a line specifically for automotive use, available with or without backing material depending on strength needed.
