Where to buy boar bristles for a hairbrush?

[MB5]

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?

I think sephora and the vermont country store sell them on line.

Mason Pearson though spendy are supposed to be the best

I couldn't find it as a craft supply but then I remembered that fly fishermen (my Dad) that tie their own flies buy boars hair for that purpose.
