The remaining downtown stores -- what few they are -- are around West Broadway.
The 9/11 attacks have been devastating to the garment industry. Today, most of the industry is off-shore (China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia--- you know, the garden spots of the world where they employ child and slave labor and pay 38 cents a day... But I digress.) The fabric stores were hardest hit because so few people sew now, and whatever suppliers they had in the US textile the industry has dries up. There are a few nice stores on 39th over by 8th ave. But they are very expensive.

I am working on a 1905 jobber's pocket manual that lists various fashion related businesses, retailers, manufacturers, and mills east of the Mississippi River. I am just wondering if the streets list for businesses, etc. is what is called the fashion district today. Some of the locations are 300-500 blocks of Broadway, Worth St., Green St., Leonard St. and White St. These are not in the current Garment District. Some of these areas did still have fabric stores as late as 2001 (stopped working downtown after the attacks and I haven't been back). The Garment District is Westside upper 30's from Broadway over to 8th/9th Avenues. The Broadway addresses would be around 1400.
