Hey all! Anyone out there have any Sunbrella Persian Tweed they want to sell? Have a client who really wants this color (what he has now) but I told him it was discontinued and I cannot find any supplier who has it. Not Manart, Trivantage or Bainbridge.
Thanks,
Joe
I also ran into that problem a while back I don't remeber but perhaps coastguard aka dilson may have the color or perhaps outdura? I'll check my charts tomorow and see if I have any too.
Its not in the Dickson line either. I also have a customer who has this on his boat but I couldn't get any from Ennis or Jacksons. I think it has been discontinued for quite a while now.

You might check with Keyston, they may have some left. Then throw away the sample so this doesn't happen again.
I won't throw a way the sample, but I did mark it discontinued. Like to hold on to it to match up with any existing enclosures. Then I can tell them it's discontinued.
We discontinued Persian Tweed in October of 2008, but you never know who may still have a few yards. You've called some good sources in Bainbrige, Manart and Tri Vantage, but you could also check with J Ennis, Keyston or Sailrite. We're checking on possible alternatives so expect a call soon.

Welcome Sunbrella people!
Joe, how much did you need? I've been "cleaning" and found just over 2 yards if that's any help.

Nice to have you onboard! Please jump in on our conversations and make yourself at home! ;D Are you going to pass out any FREE samples? hehe ::)
Thank you to the Sunbrella team and welcome to the board!
Thanks June.....I needed about 14-yards, but thanks for thinking of it. The client decided to switch to Hemlock Tweed.
We'll do our best to answer any questions that come our way.

Know your problem is solved but i ran across this supplier a while ago saying they stoak a lot of discontinued material.
One to save next tme you might try them on the obsolete disc. patterns , auto and marine.

Ran into the same problem.... found some by searching Google for it but won't say I found any businesses I'd heard of before selling it and those who had it are the "sells to consumers" and wanted something ridiculous like $28 for a yard of 60".
On a separate note - I had a customer who wanted their new carpets bound in Persian Green tweed binding. I use Corinthian Carpets as the manufacturer of my carpet and they sent me to Adwin Binding company who agreed to make me a roll of this binding in 1 1/2" one edge turned like they needed. Unfortunately, I had to buy an entire run of the color and ended up with around 200 YDS left over - so if anyone has a need for this unique and generally out of production item feel free to ask....
