Description

Explore the history of the English clothing trade through this detailed study of the period between 1660 and 1800. This work examines a massive economic sector that provided essential garments for sailors, soldiers, and the working classes. From the shirts of laboring men to the skirts of working women, the book tracks how apparel functioned as a circulating currency in the marketplace. Readers will learn about the diverse agents that drove this industry, including military contractors, female outworkers, and dealers in used clothing. The text analyzes how the demand for both new-styled luxuries and basic necessities shaped the lives of countless needlewomen and retailers. It provides a clear look at how garments moved through the economy before the rise of the factory system, making it a valuable resource for those interested in business and economic history.
