Good Source for Suede?

[BrewMongrel]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been prepping for my build and have gathered almost everything needed. Although my many trips to Joanns and online leather shopping hasn’t yielded any black suede. Many online suppliers seem to be out of stock as well for some reason. Anyone have a good source for black suede (real suede as I plan for Lancer)? 
 

Also doing some empirical research with the family tonight! Cant wait to recreate these scenes when my build is done. We live about 5 miles down the road from Skywalker Ranch and while It might not be Redwood National, Roy’s Redwoods in front of our home is where they filmed The Ewok Adventure in 84.

Have you tried Tandy Leather? I purchased the pigskin suede split chrome free which has suede front and back. Checking online, black is currently out of stock:

An alternative would be their glazed pig lining. I know some who have used this in their build. It’s the same weight as the suede split, though slightly smaller in size You’ll lose about 1 sq foot of material, but it will still be plenty for what you need. One side has suede finish and the other side has a glazed shiny finish. Just be sure to use the suede side for the facing of your patches and mud flap. It’s also 1/2 the price of the suede split.

Then there’s the top of the line suede cuts, which you don’t really need for your build, but just in case you’ve got cash to burn or limited options...

A lot of places sell pig suede on Ebay actually. That's where I picked up the piece that I used for my undersuit.

For example, I think this would work just fine:

Looks like it's about the same price as the first Tandy link.

Suede can be a little tough on non-industrial sewing machines, so make sure you buy a pack of leather needles as well.

Just picked some up off of eBay, thanks. @AradunFF That’s the first place I looked but once I saw they were out of the regular black suede I didn’t do much more looking there. 
 

Picked up a jumpsuit and balaclava as well while I was at it. Just need boots and a blaster and I’ll be ready to start throwing everything together!
