* [http://http://theleonardadlerco.com The Leonard Adler Company] "Sewn product construction necessities."  Wondering where the local tailoring/alterations shop goes to get things like rolls of elastic, bolts of interfacing, and boxes of buttons?  They almost certainly get it all from this warehouse at 3018 W. Montrose Ave. (just a few blocks east of Montrose & Kedzie).  The company has been selling tailoring, dressmaking, and furrier supplies in Chicago since 1903.  In many cases, what he has is much better and less expensive than the chain fabric stores.  And he's local, so you don't even have to pay shipping.

* [http://misterzipper.com Jay Arbetman, Arbetman and Assoc.] also known as Chicago Wholesale Fabrics.  Operates out of the same location as Leonard Adler, but has some weekend hours.  He represents a huge number of fabric manufacturers.  Relatively low minimum order, less than ten yards in many cases.  Also lots of sewing findings in addition to what Leonard Adler carries.  Obviously a far better selection than the fabric chain stores, and he is often less expensive as well.  But you will have to plan ahead, as most of it must be ordered.  Also has PFD (prepared for dyeing) fabrics.  If you are gearing up to start an Etsy shop and need fabric, this is the place to go.
