    There is one tailor in this district. He is living in the village of Banteer. He works at home always and does not travel. The tailor stocks cloth always and people buy it and make clothes of them. These clothes are worn in public. There is no cloth spun or woven in this district but it was done less than forty years ago. There are no sayings or traditions connected with the tailor. People do not make shirts at home in this district. Socks and stockings are knitted by the local people. There is no spining in the district. There are special clothes worn on certain occasions such as mourning at the death of a relative and gay colours at a wedding feast.
