A few years ago I bought the last roll of hair canvas at my local Hancock's, on clearance. It was almost a full bolt, as hardly anyone was buying it according to the manager at the time. I've got a little of it left.
B. Black & Sons is great for the tailoring supplies ( http://www.bblackandsons.com/ ). I went in to check the place out after last Costume College, and got some linen canvas to try out (worked nicely for my bodice, too). The gentleman gave me a free sample swatch pack of all their interlinings as well, so now I can order online and already know what each feels like. Next time I am also buying some of their fine wools as well. Man, how nice to walk row upon row of fine suit & coat wools, and even fine shirting material that I've never felt before - nothing like what is in my local fabric stores. I think I need some of the shirting material as well, just to have one nice suit shirt when needed.

But I haven't had to buy any of it lately, either, so I don't know how easy it is to find anymore. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
