Hi
Does anyone know where one can find felt backing (khaki) ? For this is to cover my display boards (12"x12") in witch I have approx 200.

Best way would be old army blankets I would imagine, thesemight be found on ebay...... otheerwise Khaki is not a popular colour, olive I suppose could be close.....

I was looking for something similar and didn't get anywhere. Had to settle for olive felt pieces - which has already been suggested.

You could use green baise or brushed cotton which comes in different colours, if get white you can dye it any colour you want.

As other colours have now been suggested I managed to get hold of 12" squares in as many colourways as you would - but no Khaki - loads of different shades as well. Ebay is a very good source if you don't have an 'old fashioned' department store/materials shop near you.........

Go down to the local wool/sewing shop...... they should have "felt" that comes in all colours.

I tend to buy pool/snooker felt off ebay

Default kHAKI CLOTH

Try the following firm:

It's pricey but the best. Can buy by the metre.
