###### Where to get all this stuff
|
|
|
|
Making Jaeger is a fun and rewarding 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, some (quality) suppliers
|
|
sometimes sell a **Jacket trim pack** that includes everything you need.
|
|
|
|
Below is a list of suppliers we are aware of where you can get this.
|
|
We have no affiliation with these suppliers.
|
|
|
|
- [B. Black & Sons](https://www.bblackandsons.com/) is based in the US
|
|
- [Kenton Trimmings](http://kentontrimmings.co.uk/shop/) in based in the UK
|
|
|
|
If you know of other places that carries this stuff, please let us know.
