When you want to go give me a call! I need to take a spin through that area and maybe even Japan town!

Anyway looking for specific material for a Map Of The Dead doohickie thingie!!!
 
I used to work at a fabric store in central florida, I'll e-mail the folks there and ask them to post the fabric up in the break-room and keep an eye out for me(us). (Most everyone there looks for fabrics, the owners also travel to fabric districts around the country looking for unique textiles)
I'll post up a finder's fee reward if it gets found within that store as well :)

Otherwise, I have visited most of the fabric stores in the Orlando area and searched for that textile with a fine toothed comb- no yield.
 
I probably shouldn't mention this, But I want to be as helpful as possible, even though I have no interest whatever in making a Jack costume.

But I have a mutual friend with Penny Rose, and I might be able to track the stuff down in actuality, although I'll tell you now I doubt we'll find it in those colors. It may need to be Altered, but I will see what I can do.

From my emails:

Good morning. This appears to be a jacquard from the picture. Please send me a sample large enough to duplicate the repeat and I will get you a quote to duplicate the fabric. Also please let me know your budget, required yardage, and end use.
Regards,
Richard

but how do we send a "sample" large enough to duplicate? Send the FG fabric when we know it's not "exactly" right? I mean, that's cool and all cause it's the closest we have found. (ahem) YOU have found.
