- There is only one tailor in Milford.
He works at home.
He does not stock cloth.
Cloth is not spun or woven locally.Tweeds, serges & flannel (for pants) are worn locally.
Sayings:
Teachers & tailors are the "cracktest" (giddiest) in the world."Well wear, soon tear & pay the maker" - Implements: A sewing machine, an iron, a thimble, tape (measuring), scissors, ironing board, 'chalk'.Shirts: Very few make them in the home. Flannelette & flannel are used. No a/ct. of shirts made from flax grown locally.Socks & Stockings: These are made in the homes. The thread is not spun at home. There is not one spinning wheel here.Special clothes: White & blue are the general colours for the bride.
Some (a few) men were black hat & clothes for funerals.- Collector
