When I did a little trip to Wuppertal to get me yet another couple of fabrics I won't have time for to turn them into garments, I found some meters of authentic R&T fabrics, along with other british fabrics. All very old and mostly heavy. According to the salesperson some date back to the sixties. In most cases they have only a few meters of each fabric and there is no chance to get more of the same, I think. I did not ask about prices except for one mid grey mohair fabric made in England. It costs about 25,- € per meter, but one would have to take the whole 8m left.
Buddeberg und Weck is one of the few remaining cloth merchants in Germany.
Some of the staff speak english, although I think the shop is mostly interesting for those living in the vicinity (Köln, Düsseldorf, etc.). It sure is interesting for those starting with bespoke, who cannot spend a fortune on the cloth(or don't want to).
So anyone interested, here is the link to the address

Sadly, I don't get any discounts for writing this! Which would be nice, because I always end up buying more than intended in the first place. Damn it!
