you may or may not find that fabric called ultra suede now..that was sort of a catch all term for any fabric with that sort of nap. some was nylon, some were blends. a great fabric now on the market is commonly called microfibre, and again, a catch all term for the tight weave used. the microfibre that looks like suede is made of 100% polyester. it really does look and feel like suede, and depending upon the color, if it were in a box as you describe it would be very tough to say if it was or was not suede. it can be washed, is extremely durable, and colors are great. be warned; like any polyester fabric, it has an oil affinity. some oil stains will be permanent.
