I need to replace the curtains.of a Pentax K (1958). I know etone , Japanese Hobby Tools, Aki-Asahi camera have made good shutter curtains. But all of them seems very similar and thin. I am not sure if they are the right choice.

Is there any slightly thicker shutter curtains available? I have been looking into blackout fabrics and they are quite similar to the above brands.

The old Pentax K's curtains are made with rubber coated cloth. This rubber cloth is quite similar to the old Leica screw mount camera. But the construction of K is different. The K's shutter curtains is also with the upper and lower belts as one piece . This is why I need a more durable blackout fabric.
