    The real deal!

    Jay is the end-all-be-all to my sourcing needs! He's simply the best! I was fortunate enough to make a last minute appointment with him before a trip to Chicago—we had an amazing conversation on the phone prior to our in-person meeting and (just a week later) I am hooked up with the best in the business. I've been introduced to new people that source everything from fabric and interfacing to buttons, zippers and then some. And these guys are real pros, too. I really feel like I hit the jackpot! Jay is extremely generous with his time and knowledge—he's been in the business forever and knows everyone! Definitely worth your time to reach out.
