Sources: or, where to get outdoors fabrics, patterns
and notions...
Frustrated trying to find quality fleece, hardware or Gore-tex
at your local chain store? Do they look at you like your are an
alien life form when you ask for Polartec or Cordura?I know that
feeling, and that's why I have compiled this list of specialty retailers.
This is a list of all the sources I know of, both on-line
and not. If you have one to add, please email me! Also, note
I am not affiliated with any of these businesses; but I do business
with many of them. If a store in not listed here, it may be because
of consistent reports of poor customer service. When you support
these great little companies, please let them know how you found
them. (8/07)

to find items, noted in red. Please
do not email me and ask me where to get a specific item; I will
just give you this URL.
