What is the "best" brand of Irish linen wrap

I want to have the wrap on one of my cues replaced.

What is the "best" brand of white with green specks that will be as close as possible to Cortland?

I want the wrap to look "old school".

Hi Eye
The closest I ever say to cortland was sold thru Hulberts. Looked great but unfortunately it was something Hulberts played the middle man on. I've talked to them directly, they're pretty close to me. Even with the color code numbers, they can't get it produced anymore. White with green is still offered by other suppliers but the green is darker. It's not bad.



What Tad uses on his cues looks more like what you want. Try contacting Fred Kohara and see if maybe he'll wrap your cue. I doubt he'll sell any,
Good luck

Mike,

I was the one that got Hurlbert to produce the linen after Courtland stopped making it.

It was actually made by Penn Associates.

My first order was for 500lbs. I sold it to Viking, McDermott, Black, Joss, Szamboti and Gina.

I think Gina still has some of the original.

I wonder if they would do another run if we all pitched in?

Classic cues. (Joe Van) tried this a few years ago. Unsuccessfull. The Company can't get it done.
Joe posted about it.

Is Blue Mountain off the grid entirely?

Pechauer sells it, they call it Cortland but it's Blue Mountain
