Tweed and Oxblood Grill Cloth for 5e3 Build?
Looking for some "real" tweed and oxblood grill cloth for a 5e3 cabinet build. Not after the tweedy vinyl stuff.
Looks like Mojotone have the goods - can anyone confirm that I’m looking at the correct stuff:
Tweed: https://www.mojotone.com/Fender-Style-T ... oated-32-W
Oxblood with gold stripe: https://www.mojotone.com/Fender-Style-O ... Cloth-36-W
Then finish with Zinsser amber shellac: https://wynnfraser.co.nz/product/541-Bu ... re-1-Quart
Had a look, but doesn’t look like anyone stocks the correct tweed or grill cloth locally? Haven't been brave enough to wander into aliexpress yet. BG, you did a great relic’d tweed cab a while back - did you import the coverings?
Any advice appreciated!

Yeah I get my tweed from Banzai as shipping is way cheaper than Mojotone. I have no tweed left in stock, got plenty of oxblood cloth though.
I've done probably about 25 tweed cabs now.

Banzai - didn't know about them - thanks! Might have to hit you up for some oxblood, if you can spare some - see how I go.
Reminds me - got some rolls of tolex here that need a home - having a big clear out. Will dig up some deets in case you're interested.

I've got some black, need to check what it is, I suspect it could be Marshall. Probably best to PM with type and quantity needed.
