Company History Home  >  3

In the post-war years, factors such as government legislation, the labeling act and the advent of synthetic fibers created the need for a transition in the rag business. Pacific Iron & Metal began to purchase fabrics in bulk from mills, factories and suppliers, making these new fabrics available at the same reasonable prices customers had come to expect. The company expanded their retail outlets to Seattle neighborhoods and suburbs. Each store opened its doors with the same no-frills concept: fabric remnants displayed on long tables that customers eagerly sorted through for their own special purpose.

Years passed and our name was changed from Pacific Iron & Metal to Pacific Iron’s Fabric World and eventually to today’s name, Pacific Fabrics & Crafts. The no-frills style has been replaced with modern interiors that are inviting to the eye and appealing to the soul of the fabric connoisseur.
