    Kochan and Phillips imports the cloth from England.... You can check with Najeck but I am pretty sure they are out of stock right now. http://www.najecki.com/repro/Wool.html

    Rifle green is a color used in rifle regiments, such as the 95th Regiment of Foot (Rifles), which wore a dark green (altho not as dark as Archer green) starting around 1800. The 95th were featured in C.S. Forester's short novel "Death to the French", know in the USA as "Rifleman Dodd".

    As Jeff has pointed out Rifle Green and Archer Green are two different colours. You might try Costello & Sons, military tailors in Ilford (North London) and see if they would be willing to sell you 3 or 4 meters of cloth.
