Made a couple lens caps this weekend for a couple old lenses for a wet plate camera. Looked for velvet to line the caps at the local fabric store that is like the lining I've seen in original lens caps. But, I could not find any velvet or felt at the local fabric store that is like the lining is the original lens caps. Do you know a source for quality velvet or felt that would be appropriate for lens cap lining?

Thanks,

Jay

McMaster-Carr has a low-pile velvet fabric, available with or without adhesive backing.

Probably not quite what you are looking for....But, I use the purple felt bags from Crown Royal bottles...

Cheers,

Go to a fabric store like "Joanna's Fabric" . Pretty sure they will have exactly what your looking for.
