Description

Explore the intricate world of England's pre-industrial clothing trade in this comprehensive historical examination by Palgrave Macmillan. This work traces how garments circulated through society like currency, from military contractors supplying soldiers and sailors to needlewomen crafting new fashions and dealers trading in used clothes. The book investigates how changing demand for styled luxuries and everyday necessities shaped commerce, labour practices, and consumer culture across three centuries. Discover how this essential trade employed thousands, influenced working life for men and women, and established commercial patterns that preceded factory-based production. Perfect for historians, business scholars, and anyone interested in how fashion and commerce evolved in early modern Britain.
