Sources for kilt-grade wool fabric

[Jimmy Carbomb]

Is Fabric Row a single street?

It's Fourth Street just south of South Street, for the most part, although there are a few on Fifth.

Can you name some of the shops there? Can you recommend any one or two as being better for getting heavy wool?

Boy howdy can I?!
1). Jack B. Fabrics on 4th
2). Kincus Fabrics on 4th
3). PA Fabric Outlet on 4th
4). BEST are the Jomar Shops. TONS of material at VERY LOW prices.

When you say the pricing is "outrageous," do you mean outrageously good, or outrageously bad?

JOMAR is VERY low pricing... especially during sales. You can get heavy, beautiful tartan wool for about $3/yard. The others can range from $7 to $20 a yard, depending on whether the owner has had a good day or is fighting with the wife.

None of them knows the first thing about tartans. Going there and "haggling" will get you the best materials at the best prices.

If you were down in Philadelphia, I could give you three HUGE sources for OUTSTANDING wool kilt material.

I am down in Philly! Just outside.
Thinking of heading down to S. Street soon enough, possibly with my friend, to celebrate a BUSH victory!

Okay, before this thread turns into eight consecutive pages of vitriol, may I ask you to keep your eyes open for 16-oz worsted wool gray fabric: something you might make an interview suit out of. If you could tell me who has it for how much, I would be grateful.

I found a good resource for the area: www.fabricrow.com. Sadly, only one shop seems to have a website, and even that site is bare. Looks like I really need a spy in the area.
