Looking for this wide black elastic

i am looking for a 2.25" wide black elastic (one piece made of 8 bands of elastic with channels between the bands) that i am assuming is intended as waistband elastic. (i would have posted a picture but didn't know how.) I bought this several years ago because it was so interesting but i can't remember where. i finally used it on a pair of pants for Burning Man--just put it on the outside and didn't even cover it. Looked and felt great and, more importantly, my DH loved it. i'd like to get a lot more of this elastic but can't find it anywhere. Britex has never even seen it. Do any of you ladies have any information on it? i don't even know what it is properly called or whether it is woven or knitted. Thanks.

I've always heard that type of elastic (with channels for sewing through) called sport elastic. Can't remember ever seeing any as wide as 2-1/4", though, and the widest I found in an online search is 1-1/2".

Good luck with your search!

2 1/2 wide waistband elastic and 2 inch with the drawstringembedded. They're at the very bottom of the page. I know I've seenmore elsewhere, so I'll keep trying to remember where. Pora

Thanks, Pora. i didn't see anything resembling the elastic i have--it's really quite beautiful and i'm using it on the outside and not covering it up. Lace Heaven did have quite a selection, though. i'll send them a pic of my elastic and maybe they can identify it.
