I live in DC, and have made several trips to NY to purchase fabric. I make my own dress shirts, and finding quality shirtings can be difficult.<br /><br />On my first visit, it was near closing, but David and Ellen were so kind, and even stayed past their closing time to talk with me. This was my first time to the garment district (and my first time in NYC--Period!) and I didn't plan my time very well, since I had no idea where the stores were, and what to expect.<br /> <br />I sent David an email after I arrived home, just to thank them for the nice visit, and for staying past closing to talk with me.<br /><br />Several months later, I made another trip, and put R&C first on the list of shops to visit. To my surprise, David and Ellen remembered me--even though I didn't actually purchase any fabric on my first visit.<br /><br />Everything you hear about their customer is true! Put R&C on you list.<br /><br />BTW, the upstairs is terrific. The selection of wools is impeccable. My traveling companion is a Chanel jacket expert, and her mouth nearly dropped when she saw an entire wall of Chanel fabric for her Chanel jackets.<br /><br />Jim in Virginia<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-50112595252037216522012-05-11T20:59:49.954-04:002012-05-11T20:59:49.954-04:00thank you!
