You ask. Whenever I see goods that interest me in a booth at a trade show, one of the first things I say is "are you a jobber?"and "how much yardage do you have on hand?" Most of the time, with jobbers, when the goods are gone- they are gone. However, some jobbers also carry a few lines as well as dealing job lots. "Vendor" is just another term for 'salesperson' A jobber can be both a vendor of new merchandise and also "jobbing" overruns, etc. Here's a definition of a jobber from MIRACLE'S blog site: www.theclothingbroker.com: "A jobber is someone who buys overstock, overruns, excess production, possibly irregulars, whatever, and sells it for much less than regular wholesale. Like fabric jobbers buy the leftover fabric after production has taken place and sell it at a discount. Same deal with apparel jobbers, though fabric jobbers generally sell to the public whereas apparel jobbers do not." Hope that helps. How do you know? You ask.

We're going to the LA textile mart this April and it's good to hear something about it before. I was really dissapointed with Magic fabric show. I'm glad I went for other reasons, but my main purpose was fabric and it was pretty dissapointing. Your point about Jobbers is of particular interest to me. Being in Long Beach- I'm only about 20 minutes from the fashion district in L.A. and have purchased fabrics from the street vendors many times for my old business- but one of the reasons I'm hesitant about buying from them now is that they often say they can re-order fabric, and I've found out the hard way that most of the time, when it's gone, it's gone. How do you know when a vendor is a jobber or not? Miracle-I know this is an older entry- but thanks for all this information.
