    Clothes Made Locally
    There is one tailor in the district, but he has two tailors working for him. They work at their homes. This tailor does stock cloth, but the tailor he has working for him do not sell cloth. Cloth is not woven in the district. The tailor has a lot of implements. From, lapboard, thimble, scissors, tape, chalk, needles. Shirts are made in some houses. Stockings are made locally, but the thread is foreign.
    Special clothes are worn on deaths; they are black.
