Thanks, your suggestions have greatly improved my texture in my opinion
btw its two wood textures for the threads, some distorted noise to give the threads some detail, a cloud texture set to warp it so it doesn’t look uniform, an other cloud to add dirt, and finaly yet another cloud (offset from the dirt) to add the wear look as was suggested.
so hear it is:

I think it still has a few problems, namely how the light falls on it due to spec/reflec settings, any suggestions there?
I like the mini version in the post more then the full size image.
Maybe shrink the grid like part of the texture way, way down till you can barely see it like in the little image. And add just a tad more color variation.
