Does Textile Outfitters sell to home sewers like myself?
To begin with, if I were you I would tend to avoid referring to myself as a "sewer". But, in answer to your question - YES. We carry a huge selection of fabrics for the home sewer (seamstress? seamer?). We are a retail store that also provides mail order service to anyone all over the world.
Are you a wholesaler? No. TEXTILE OUTFITTERS INC. is a retail store located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We also service the world's fabric need through world wide mail order.
Does your company have a catalogue? TEXTILE OUTFITTERS INC. produces a very informative catalogue that is jam-packed with fabric, patterns, and notions along with helpful sewing, washing and other tips. Textile Outfitters charges $2.50 Canadian for the catalogue, but you will get this refunded on your first order by stating the invoice # from your receipt for the catalogue. Our telephone 403-252-3338, order line 1-888-231-4753, and fax 403-253-0540 run 24 hours a day, so pick a time that is convenient (and cheap) for you.

Before placing an order, I would like to know if it is possible to get swatches of the different fabrics, patterned webbings and braids you have? These would be helpful for me and my numerous outfitter friends who are always looking for new stuff to try in the "extreme"! We would be happy to send you some swatches of our fabulous fabrics and braids. We charge $2.00 per set for all the colours or designs of one particular fabric. For example if you needed to see the colours of Polartec® 200, Polartec® 300 and Commander® we would charge you $6.00 plus shipping and handling.Our telephone 403-252-3338, order line 1-888-231-4753, and fax 403-253-0540 run 24 hours a day, so pick a time that is convenient (and cheap) for you.

I am interested in finding out more about fleece and garments for purchasing. Does your company just sell fabric or does it also sell finished goods? does it only sell the Malden Mills® brand Polar fleece? What other fabrics does your company sell? (as a matter of fact, can you tell me a little bit about your company?) Here is a little info about us. Textile Outfitters is a RETAIL store that carries the best of everything for the everyday person. We carry Polartec® Fleece made by Malden Mills® and also some Storm Mountain fleece (check for availability.) We also carry the Waterproof breathable fabrics in all kinds of styles. Gore-Tex®, Ultrex®, Supplex® Nylon, Commander and Super Microft®. We also carry Lycras such as swim, cotton, moleskin, Innova® and the list goes on. We carry Nylons like crazy!! Ripstop, Cordura, Pack cloth medium and light weight coated. We have hardware for making and completing most every project you can think of and a few you haven't. We do not sell finished products. In fact, our motto is "JUST MAKE IT!" We could go on and on but it might be easier to send you a catalogue. TEXTILE OUTFITTERS INC. does a great deal of mail orders all over the world and we are very proud of our quick and friendly service!
Care and feeding of your Polartec® Fleece - I have a Polartec® jacket and washing instructions state "powder detergents only" and I'm curious as to why. Could I actually damage the garment by using liquid detergent? That powdered stuff tends to clump in the clothes sometimes. The instructions also say "no bleach or fabric softeners"; does this include the fabric softener dryer sheets? Washing Polartec® is actually really simple. Rule number one is "Do not wash it with towels!!!!!!" My husband thought this would be fine until he spent an hour picking lint off of my daughters tights. I personally use a weee bit of powdered detergent in my load but I make sure it is well dissolved before I stick the clothes in. I don't see a problems with using A VERY SMALL amount of liquid soap in your machine. DO NOT use fabric softeners in your washer it will stain your fleece in spots (like an oil stain) and will mess-up the wicking and water resisting properties in the fleece. I have used a small corner of a fabric softener sheet with some success. “Hang-dry” works too, but dryers are quicker and safe as long as they have temperature control! If the drier is too hot, it may melt the fleece as some of our customers with old dryers have found! Good luck and enjoy your new fleece. Please note that because of its great wicking ability (taking sweat and other liquids away from you so that they can evaporate) you really do not need to wash your fleece very often.
BUT, if you are looking for some wholesale deals, head over to our wholesale site.

If you're ordering from outside of Canada, your purchase price will be converted to your local currency by your credit card company. For example, if you make a purchase of $100.00 CDN and you're from the US, the charge on your credit card might show up as about $65.00 US. You can get a good estimation very easily by going to the currency converters that are all over this website.
