One of my all-time favorite fabric purveyors, Ian Mankin, offers several of his wonderful fabrics in an oilcloth finish. The 100 percent natural cottons (more than 90 percent of Mankin's fabrics are woven in the UK at a traditional, family-run Lancashire cotton mill) are treated with a matte PVC coating, which makes them water-resistant and easy to clean. N.B. Ian Mankin ships to the US.
