I don't know about a focusing loupe but any tightly woven no lint black cloth should do. The heavier and finer the weave the better. Probably a good try would be raincoat material. You want it pliable and easily foldable. You could use fake leather or bookbinding material but this is awkard to fold making packing a difficulty but perhaps more importantly folds and the hang of the material do create natural light traps which will make focusing easier, especially in conditions of bright light.
