New York, NY 10019

- From a helpful reader:
I believe they have a catalog which they charge for. They carry all sorts
of notions including buttons, interfacings - including top quality hair
canvas, French canvas, interlining, rayon seam binding, zippers, weights
etc. One the ladies in my apartment building who has a business making
bridal and fancy dresses for places like Bergdorf's buys her stuff there.
Their store, if you get to New York, if fairly upscale compared to the
garment district places.
Steinlauf & Stoller, Inc.
239 West 39th Street
New York, NY 10018
212-869-0321
- From the same helpful reader:
They are good for shoulder pads, muslin, threads etc. I don't know if they
have a catalog. They cater to the trade as well as walk-in business.
The two places have slightly different stock so if I can't find it in one,
I try the other. Both carry good stuff for tailoring which can be hard to
find in a suburban mall store.
