Okay fine. The stretchhouse stuff is worse. The stretchhouse stuff does not match the reference materials any better than ZIA's material. Its color is no better and it has no sheen. ZIA's custom neoprene is not perfect but it is the best alternative out there. If I could go back in time and have the 2nd run of lycra dyed a less purple color I would, but I can't. If you know somewhere that will custom laminate 6 yards of lycra and neoprene for an affordable price, let me know.
