jman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi all Anyone know where you can purchase second hand theatre blacks?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvenprince Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 ...? Just go into a shop that sells clothes and they'll inevitably sell garments in black. Or am I misunderstanding the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Robinson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 If you really want second hand, try a charity shop. But why do they have to be second hand? If it's an issue of price, try somewhere like Primark- I got 3 black t-shirts for a tenner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 sorry I did not mean backs as in clothing I meant black fabric for legs and borders. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm guessing the OP actually means Drapes, not clothing. The first place I'd try is the drape rental people (Acre Jean, Blackout and so on) but I suspect when drapes get "retired" it's for a good reason!

Seano Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 A 'wanted' ad in the classifieds here probably wouldn't hurt. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvenprince Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 sorry I did not mean backs as in clothing I meant black fabric for legs and borders. Sorry My apologies! The first thing that comes to mind when I hear "theatre blacks" is clothing! You might try contacting local theatres? If they're getting a new stock in, I'm sure they'd rather their old stock went to a good home, rather than in the bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Robinson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Oops, thrown off mainly by my association of theatre blacks with clothing and also a little by elvenprince's reply above mine confirming what I'd thought. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi all Anyone know where you can purchase second hand theatre blacks?What's your budget?You may be able to buy new from the likes of Whalleys at Bradford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardingbob Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I second the Whalleys recommendation. Top quality at affordable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The cheap stuff from Whaleys is cheaper than washing and re flameproofing used drape. Consider whether used drape will be clean and presentable, and be sold with a flame retardancy guarantee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try: http://www.jcjoel.com/ KC Seconded - J&C Joel have pretty much any fabric you can imagine, and they'll finish them (hems, ties, conduit pocket etc) to extremely custom specifications. I got a quote recently on some taffeta for a show (marketed by J&CJ as Polyester Trevira) and it was comparable in price to Whaleys, but the customer service is so much better - phone them up and ask for Glynis.
