    In Oughterard there are two tailors. Both of them work in their own houses. They make suits of clothes out of shop material and homespun.
    It is an old saying that "a tailor is the ninth part of a man". The tailors pressing iron is called a goose and it is said he always has a goose for Christmas. Also that a halfpenny and a thimble makes a tailor's pocket jingle.
    Long ago women made shirts from linen which they made at home
