Begin your San Francisco fabric-shopping trek downtown at the 56-year crown jewel of California fabric purveyors, Britex Fabrics. For fabric lovers, there is no experience like the first visit here. The first floor display of floor-toceiling bolts of luxury wools runs the full length of the store, all 120 feet from Geary Street to Maiden Lane. Though many fabrics are high-end, including couturier silks, Britex caters to sewers of all incomes with its four floors of merchandise.
