- There is one tailor in Clashmore. He always works in his own house. The instruments he was working with mostly are a scissors, a measuring tape, a sewing machine and so on. The tailor that is in Clashmore does not make any shirts but in Youghal they make flannel shirts. It is very seldom any one sends shirts making now as they are to be bought ready made.
People make stockings at home but they do not sell them. On one special occasion people wear different kinds of clothes. When a person dies in a house all the people in that house wear black clothes. The old people say a long thread is the sign of a lazy tailor.
