Source for Clarino, saddle pad fleece?

I'd like to make some tights and from experience I know that if I use
shiny lycra, I need knee patches :-)  Clarino synthetic leather seems to
be what most places use for knee patches.  I only have a few mail order
catalogs, and Clarino is not listed for sale in them.  Does anyone know of
a USA or Canadian source for this material?

Also, does anyone have a source for nice THICK, heavy duty fleece such as
to use for saddle pads and cinch covers?  The only stuff I can find is
through Tandy Leather Co., and it is shorter and not as thickly plush as
I'd like.

Thanks for any help!
