Does anyone have any idea if companies such as Organic or any other #made in America company will sell me a cover for some foam I have. The foam is a gym grade crash pad and I want to cut it to size, but need a cover to cover it with.

I've made my own crash pads before, I find that any durable outdoor canvas works well. Can buy for pretty cheap at Jo Anns or any similar store.

I am not sure a company like organic, that makes their own crashpads, would want their name on a pad they didn’t fully build. But, you should still ask.

But, maybe a company like runout customs, would do it for you. They don’t seem to make their own pads.

Any fabric store has Codura. Price it by the yard

Did you contact anyone yet?
Seems better to ask them rather than the MP forum, no?

I’ve contacted Organic and kinetik, but have haven’t heard back from them. I researched some smaller companies, but felt like those two would possibly make it happen. 

Yeah I agree on asking a company, but I was interested in seeing if there were people who had a similar situation and what they did.

It's not hard to do in terms of sewing. Just some square corners. Even the average home sewing machine should have no problem with the type of fabric involved.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
