Dress, Culture and Commerce: The English Clothing Trade before the Factory, 1660–1800
B. Lemire
This work examines a trade that covered the backs of sailors and soldiers, that shirted labouring men and skirted working women, that employed legions of needlewomen and supplied retailers with new consumer wares. The agents in this trade included military contractors for clothing, female outworkers and dealers in used clothes.
