You can use almost any kind of cloth. The most common (and old school) is canvas. You can also use bed sheets from thrift stores. There is a whole lot of information on covering with canvas in the foamie section, as well as a list of sources.

I used cheapo drop cloth canvas from home depot, it takes a lot more paint to fill it and coat it. Thinner fabric will take less paint and give a smoother finish. Either fabric is still tougher than most other coatings people use.
