HELP - anyone know a resource for new "knubley" vintage knoll type fabric in the US?!

I have several Knoll pieces in need of reupholstery, including a Womb settee. I have a very good upholstery guy (he used to work for Knoll).

I spent hours @ Maharam & was very disapointed with what they are currently offering. Does anyone know of any resources for good quality upholstery fabrics that are similar to the vintage Knoll fabrics from the 50's? I would really like to find some fabrics like the knubley ones out in the 50's.

I'm not exactly sure
what fabric you're specifically in need of, but Knoll maintains a fabric division with lots of vintage classic fabric, unlike Herman Miller who basically closed down their classic fabric division and now Maharam handles those older fabrics.
Any reputable Knoll dealer (or midcentury reupolsterer) can order the fabric you need, provided you and the dealer can find the fabric name.
It's gonna be expensive, though.
I know that here in Minneapolis, Remnants can order Knoll fabric.
