I Understand what you said, don't really know any riggers.

For miscellaneous and the real deal try: http://www.paragear.com/
I enjoy working with them as they are straight forward and professional.

My original 550 cord supply has changed if you decide you want new I have a few
others for future use....get use to that change thing in textiles

For fabrics not sure what you might use but have good contacts now and some materials in bulk .

Lowy is a good place when prototyping, when you get something solid you'll want some more affordable sources: http://www.lowyusa.com/webbing/nylon-webbing

Bally Ribbon being one: http://www.ballyribbon.com

You can catch some odds and ends just by checking different places periodically, I think "Sportsman's Guide" has some para cord in their military surplus section.

The challenge is buying the right quantity for the right price. 5,000 yd fabric runs go for $25,000.00 and up. It is getting more challenging finding mil spec rolled goods but they are out there.

Lots more happy to help.
