Attached were photos from Norman Jean Roy and Patrick Demarchelier, I've seen this kind of backgrounds in photos(vintage, dirty and full of texture) thousands of times but never seen one in real life(I'm based in China)! I wonder is this paper? or cloth? where can I buy it? What accessory brand produce this?
Thanks in advance, I've been to many local equipments stores but never found one...

The white Lino background material I use is, I think from China... In the picture it looks as if the background is some kind of canvas or sacking (jute) material - maybe not specifically made for photography.

An internet search for photo backgrounds canvas revealed the these backgrounds are described as muslin.

Try:

When I had a studio in the eighties,I used to make those backgrounds myself.
All you have to do is buy a roll of extra wide canvas and hand paint them.
If it's not wide enough you have to get them stitched together,however from my memory it will go to 12 ft wide.

Another nice background is old truck covers,that were used to protect the goods.

ummm, I don't think it's muslin... and yes there are tons of cheap&fancy muslin backgrounds in local stores, which would never appear in serious fashion shots. BTW what does you lino background looks like? Is it the same from the attached photos?
And thanks for your information:)

I used to get mine from a theatre suppliers, here in London. They had the extra width and they were usually sprayed with fire repellant stuff. Then I used to spray the mottled effect, dirt and imperfections.

Edwards:
Could you tell me some details about how you spray it? What kind of spray do you use? I found many kinds of canvas/burlaps and they are all very clean. I did a search on truck covers and it turned out that chinese truck covers are mostly green... I'd like to learn more about how to DIY a vintage background, if it's the only way..Thanks a lot!

And thank you too Oleksiy:)

Oleksiy:
Those helps! Though I've never imagined a special painted canvas can be so expensive..

I've made these with raw canvas, raw linen, muslin. It takes time and space, a wardrobe steamer.
