  1. There are two tailers in this district. They work at their homes and get their own cloth. They make suits and costumes and dresses. They use serge of all colours. The tailor uses a scissors, a sewing machine, a tape, a spool and pins. Shirts are bought in shops. Socks and stockings are knit in the homes and some of them are bought. Special types of clothes are worn on special days as at the death of a friend black is worn for mourning.
