Rams Imports Inc

A store in Garment District isn’t hard to find, but Rams Imports Inc sticks out right off Fashion Avenue. The building’s third floor holds a no-frills shop where the rack after rack of imported textiles keeps the pulse of local tailors and hobbyists alike. From silks and cottons to heavier wools, the shelves stay stocked without fanfare. Prices don’t carry the usual showroom markup, so regulars know where to go before cutting fabric. Accessories—buttons, zippers, interfacings—live in labeled bins near the back counter. Nothing is pre-packaged with glossy branding; everything lands on the shelf in simple bolts and boxes. The same block hosts half a dozen garment suppliers, yet Rams stays the quiet anchor. Tailors step off the elevator, clip a yard or two, and vanish back downstairs before the light changes. Cash or card, the register handles both without slowing the flow. Call (212) 921-8378 to confirm what’s in stock, then take the elevator to 525 Fashion Ave #310. A short ride on the 7 train drops you at Times Square—walk west two blocks and you’re there.
