Folks
Would anybody want to come in on a ventile bulk buy with me.
I have an offer for some first quality Ventile cloth direct from the mill.
This is L34 the lightest weight cotton 165-180 gsm and is undyed natural which is a tan/sand colour. It is the end of a special order and is not usually offered for sale in this colour
I am offered a 16m bolt of 1.5m wide which normally retails at £19.50 p/m plus vat for £13.00 pls vat and carriage. As its the end of the roll they dont want to cut it and will only sell the full bolt.
The weight would be ideal for a bush shirt or lightweight trousers - I want to make it up double thickness into a snow parka but it has many other applications. Its virtually the same water resistance as the standard weight L24 (Hydrostatic head 750mm water as opposed to 900mm).
I cant afford the full bolt and only want 6m or so for my project so does anybody want to come in and take some of the remaining 10m at cost.
I am prepared to put the full cost up and will sell on any length you want at cost plus whatever it costs me to post it out but I need to know enough people are interested.
Its driving me nuts as I know I could use the lot but SWMBO wont wear me spending £200 plus on material.
Sing out if youre interested
Cheers
Nick
