Antique Pool Table Cotton Pocket Nets
Im looking to replace the pocket nets on a 1880s pool table with ones similar to the cotton style in the attached picture.
Any idea where I can buy them?

We don't get anything from them, but if you do end up purchasing, tell em' we sent you!

I've also seen folks hire knitters to custom knit a set of pool table pocket nets using a high quality worsted yarn just like the old ones did.
Or, if you want something on the cheap:
- amazon.com - pool table pocket nets - white or green
