DIY Suede interior. Where to buy?

I have been looking at several threads and no real links or recommended places to purchase the material from.

I want UV protected material and material that won't go to sh*t. I don't want Joann, Michael's etc type of quality. I know they work but they aren't UV protected and will fade in a few months. I, however, don't want to pay an arm and a leg to get alcantra material. I am looking for a happy medium that will cost about 40-60/yard vs 10/yard or 200+/yard for Alcantra.

I will be doing my interior pillars, headliner, and shifter bezel. So I need a good amount of material but not drastic.

Please post pics of your material, reviews of holding up after X amount of time and link of where you purchased it.

Thank you!!!
