obtaining this material (ultrasuede #3623Sable)
for the inside of your display case. If it is coming
from TESTFABRICS, I do believe they have an in house
tech expert who can help you with this fabric. If not,
they can point you in the right direction. I don't
have their number off hand but you can look them up in
google and I think they have an online catalog. Best
of luck.
