    Where to buy boar bristles for a hairbrush?

    I would like to try making a hairbrush with the bristles wired in, but I have not been able to locate a place to purchase boar bristles. Do I need to find an existing brush with bristles that are long enough, or does anyone know where I can purchase the bristles separately?

    Rodeo Cotton for a shirt?

    Nevermind, I went back and the Rodeo is not 100% cotton. The rack is mislabelled. I went to Jo-Ann this evening to try to find some fabric to make a few dress shirts, keeping in mind the thread that said the shirts should not be see through.
