General Millinery supplies

Hats by Leko -General and comprehensive millinery supply house. There is very little that Sandra Leko doesn't have. Nice lady, too. Just starting out? Go here first. She has the most kinds of hat sizing anywhere, and is comfotable shipping internationally.

Judith M Milliery -Another great general millinery supply house. Finally found real hatpin blanks here! Service was very fast.

Blocks

Frank's cane and rush supply - Inexpensive "polyblock" hat blocks. They only have a few styles, but they work really well (with some slight modification.) Certainly a good block to learn on.

Wire

http://www.parawire.com/ - Wholesale Millinery wire supplier. It's really inexpensive, but you had better need a lifetime supply.

Feathers

http://www.zuckerfeather.com/ - Wholesale feathers. I think they have a retail price list as well, but you do need a tax ID in order to order from them wholesale.

Ribbon (belting)

http://www.zeemancorp.com/ZeemanCorp - Millinery belting (milliner's grosgrain -like I use on the edges of hats). tons and tons, and at a great price. I really need to go visit them.

Felt Blanks

http://manhatco.com/ - If you need felt blanks by the dozen, this is a great place. Lots of colors.

http://www.jaygerish.com/products.htm - If you need ten dozen hat blanks, and you can go hand select them, this place is the best. They did send me some samples, and I'm planning a trip out there soon!!
