    big strong man and he always wears a hat.
    Cosgrave lives in Brierfield in his own house. There is no other person living with him in the house. Cosgrave is a very good tailor, a lot better than any other of the tailors. He makes a lot of suits at his own house and then he brings them into Tuam and sells them. Cosgrave gets a lot of suits to make from all the people living in his district. When you wish to get a new suit to make for yourself you can either buy the stuff yourself and then bring it to Cosgrave and he will make it, or if you wish he will get the stuff himself, and then make the suit.
