Does anyone know where I can get (online) 1 3/8" black twill tape with grommets set 1" apart? Basically, lacing tape? Lacis carries, but was wondering if anyone knows of an online source cheaper than the $2/yard at Lacis. Some places have really expensive stuff ($11-17/yard!), but if Lacis is selling for $2 and I know they have a huge mark-up, where are they getting it from? The twill isn't really tightly woven, but for my purposes, it's just fine. Anybody?

Could you not get some twill tape and a grommet setter and make it cheaper?
Or do you need so much of it to make it worth spending the money to save the time and effort...
