Thousands of Bolts buys older lines or excess that the factory could not sell that is why they can sell them so inexpensively. Kind of like when a car dealer really lowballs the 2010 cars when the 2011 models are about to be delivered. They are not the newest and latest but maybe the leftovers that didn't sell from last year's or the previous year's newest and greatest. This is how they can sell so cheaply. I have never, ever been disappointed with any name brand fabric I have ordered from thousands of bolts.
