Not sure they offer any nylon flock in white. Leather would be easier to locate, I think.

Mark -
DONJER has flock in white, cream and ivory. Maybe do shrink tube then flock & wrap with gold Gudebrod HT braid? , I think this would work. I think (never tried this) you could either glue on the HT braid; cover with masking tape then flock or do the flock & then glue on the HT braid. The second approach might be less durable. Another possibility is to flock; wrap with the braid then apply finish to the braid only - that would require, I think much more care in applying the finish so it didn't bleed into the flock.

Here's another idea: try a local re-uphostery place for auto seat covers in naugahyde or maybe a place that fabricates t-tops for boats?? It won't be leather but will probably stand up better than leather in the elements.

Amazon.com has an advertisement for white leather....
