  1. There are three tailors, one in Raphoe, one in Ballindrait, and one in Conway. Some of them work at home, others go from house to house. Some of the tailors stock the cloth, and others do not. The cloth is not spun, nor woven locally. The people wear clothes made out of cloth. The people used tweed for making suits, blankets, and rugs. The skirts are made at home. They use cotton for making skirts.
