We carried the "Michael Miller Jet Brown" a couple of years back. While it was a great fabric, and the darkest brown we'd ever seen (and I imagine their black is like it)... we found that it did not sell well for us, as it cost about $2 more per yard than regular blacks (Kona and the like).

So... I'm wondering... those of you who are connoisseurs of black fabrics, do you think it is worth the extra $ to get the double-dyed darks? Or does it depend on the project?
