- (continued from previous page)Overcoats and outer coats worn in Winter over the sleeved-waistcoats. Some of this frieze is still worn in this Parish. One man now 80 years wore a Freize top-coat (for 10 years) - until the thread with which it was sewn, all gave way. He then brought it to a local tailor who turned the cloth inside out and re-made the overcoat. This time it lasted him 10 years - making a total of 20 years for an overcoat. Even then it was not worthless as the ‘bean a tighe’used it with an old Blanket and quilted both together into a beautiful heavy quilt for Winter wear.
