How long does delivery take?

If everything is in stock delivery takes 1-3 days (excluding weekends and public holidays) depending on how busy we are. Urgent orders can almost always be dispatched the same day if received before 10 am.

Will the fabric I buy match the samples exactly?

Most of the time, yes. But colors do vary slightly from shipment to shipment and our sample pages can be made up well in advance of your receiving them. If a specific colourway is required it is better to send us a cutting.

What is your minimum order?

Unless otherwise specified 1 full folded piece (stated length folded half-width on a board) or roll as per the individual fabric descriptions on our website, sample sheets, or other literature.

Are your washing and drying guidelines guaranteed?

The washing and drying instructions provided on this website are as provided by the manufacturer and we have not tested their veracity. Fabrics can also vary slightly from shipment to shipment. It is always advisable to test wash and test dry any fabric before making it into a garment or any other product.

Small Faults & Joins?

International standard is that in any one roll (40-50 meters) there might be 5 or 6 small faults therefore in smaller pieces this carries on that there may be 1 or 2 small faults depending on the size. It is also accepted that there may be joins within a roll or folded piece, however, there should not be less than 2 meters of fabric before a join and no more than 1 join in any one piece. Please note that this is always kept to a minimum and is occasional.

Have you had your fabrics tested?

Unfortunately to test every colourway of every fabric for EN71, flammability and other requirements would cost our other arm and leg. We have tested a colourway of the ones we are asked for most often. The certificates for these are available in the Certificates section of this website. This has satisfied the due diligence of most of our customers – but if a specific test is required please contact the testing house on the certificates who will be happy to do the tests for you at very reasonable rates.

Are your fabrics Fire-Retardant?

Very few are Fire-Retardant – C5577 FR Leathercloth; C6272 FR Muslin, ES011 Toy Fur & ES017 Dress net – certificates for these can be found in our Certificates section. Should you need a fabric flameproofing Gort Flameproofing Services (details on our certificates) will be happy to help.

No. But we’re getting there. To see our full range please come to our warehouse. We also exhibit at the NEC in February each year – please contact us.

Is everything on your site in stock?

The colourways and fabrics shown on our site are what we bought initially or those we try to stock 365 days per year. As this is not always possible we update the brochures in our Pricelists & Brochures section regularly – the date after the file name is when it was last updated.
