"The making of cloth as a central element within industrialization has been the subject of intense scrutiny, yet the industry that created garments from the cloth has been largely neglected. This book remedies this neglect through a study of the Leeds tailoring trade. Leeds occupies a special place in the history of the UK clothing industry: by the outbreak of the First World War it had become the nation's foremost producer of menswear, and the city remained the production and distribution centre for men's tailoring until the 1980s."--Jacket.
