\####### Where to get all this stuff

Making Jaeger is a fun and rewarning project, but getting all the required bits and pieces can be challenging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is because this kind of project is somewhat more ambitious than the typical home sewing project,
|
|
|
|
and as a result, your local haberdashery is unlikely to stock all of these things.

If you know where to get them, great. If not, you can get a **Jacket trim pack** from
|

|
|
|
[Kenton Trimmings](http://kentontrimmings.co.uk/shop/) in London, they ship to international customers.

It's a shop for professionals (they're not even open on Saturdays) but they don't require you to be a business
|

|
|
|
to place an order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have no afiliation with these guys, but it's the only place I know of that will sell you a kit of
|
|
|
|
professional trimmings to make a jacket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you know of any other place that carries this stuff, please let us know.
