We're looking for a source for the old-style spring-wound fabric window shades, the kind that were usually dark green on one side. They had a fabric material that was coated with some sort of matte coating. Once upon a time, every hardware store carried these things. They were inexpensive and were very common in older houses. Now, try to find them-- even the few old-school hardware stores near us (there are a few left) don't have them. And the big box ones-- it's now called "window treatment" and they don't have the right style anyway. This is for a small train order office structure. Any leads would be appreciated. Howard P.

Adlake makes and adjustable that is likely higher quality than anything else you can find out there. They may be able to do custom widths.
