Deadstock in LA

July 9, 2009 11:04 AM

Where can I buy large amounts of vintage/dead stock fabric in Los Angeles?

I need to buy 750 yards of vintage/deadstock fabric. I need the fabric in assorted patterns. The fabric must be vintage, not simply discontinued. Help?

This is not a direct answer, and I apologize for that.

There is a cool vintage clothing/furnishing store in Studio City that sells to the studios and has excellent (and sometimes pricey) pieces organized by decade. They really know their stuff, from what I can tell.

I'm almost positive that they personally don't carry fabric, but they may be knowledgeable enough to point you in the right direction.

Hope that is at least semi-helpful.

Try Beverly Hills Silks and Woolens at about Beverly and La Cienega. Lots of industry types shop there. It's a Twilight Zone Store with old pro's from the 30's running it. There are some untouched vintage bolts there.
