14 x 14 inch Pastel on Suede paper. A recent commission of beautiful Himalayan "Fudgee"

Kindly featured by Aug 2015 Pastel Paper Questions and Live Drawing EventSo, a feature for the pastel artists out there!

And now a question for the pastel artists:

So, I've been looking around to buying decent coloured and slightly textured pastel paper. So far I haven't found any I liked yet. So far I've tried Reeves (the lined texture in it is absolutely awful) and I've tried Canson Mi-Teintes (I find the texture has too many holes that show through for my liking). I'd like paper that has something for the pastels to grip to but I can do detail with. Any suggestions of brands and where to buy them?
Should I try watercolour paper?
Also, I'm going to be participating in a live drawing event for 5 hours
