Less EMF has the largest selection in the States
Eeonyx sells a range of high performance materials that you can order to spec.
Fine Silver Products sells silver-doped fabrics
How To Get What You Want gives a good overview of the known conductive fabric merchants
Fashioning Technology blog should give you some inspiration

A trip to the store with a multi-meter can be enlightening. Various commonly available tapes, fabrics, gels, packages etc. are conductive.
