You're talking to the choir, here - I wanted a homemade silnylon cat tarp in brown. Can't find brown anywhere that isn't already made into something.

This is something those fabric wholesalers need to tackle - they know how to make the stuff in different colors, not the end user or the pack/tarp maker.
