COSTUME FABRIC <FC>

 While no ongoing guarantee is possible, most listed fabrics are from established costume fabric lines and should remain available. Most items are available in many colors (many including fluorescents) with many more traditional and specialty fabrics unlisted - specify your needs. Fabric names are generic where possible. Newer varieties are listed by longest established name which, unfortunately, may not be universally used (same as item numbers). If in doubt, ask - generally, swatches are available.
The following highlight lists include sheers, solids, stretch, and vinyl/leathers grouped as PLAIN (non-print) fabrics, then METALLIC, PRINTS, METALLIC PRINTS, and COMPLEX patterns. Metallic listings include over-all "metallic" reflections combinations; non-metallic background reflections and exotic finishes are listed with complex patterns. Yard-goods pricing is per yard and pre-discounted bolt. A few items include a minimum {##}cut length, otherwise generally minimum 5 yards per item/color. Bolt prices include minimum 10% discount. Request multi-bolt pricing. Widths and colors may vary slightly per mill batch.
Request fabric composition and maintenance information. Unless associated with hides, fur fabrics are synthetic. Stretch varies with composition and may be any combination from 10% to 100% in one direction (1-way) or perpendicular (2-way) directions - inquire per style number.
Ask about color co-ordination. If shade is crucial or you are attempting to match a specialty fabric, send us a swatch. As a last resort, it may be possible to locate a discontinued seasonal item or manufacture (sometimes as little as 2 bolts minimum) a custom color or to custom duplicate a print - allow time. Colors "quantity+" means additional colors are seasonally available.
Leather hides are select quality priced per square foot, minimum 10 sq' per item/color. Hides naturally vary in size/shape and dye shade, and include various unavoidable "imperfections". Best matching will be done per order. For previous order co-ordination, send swatch. Request quantity and lower quality leather pricing. Weight in ounces indicates approximate leather thickness - request specifics.
Unless otherwise requested, short yardage will be shipped folded, longer pieces on cores. MUCH MORE AVAILABLE.
