- In olden times tailors went from house to house making clothes. They had no machines but they worked with the hands. The tailors would come to the house at nine o' clock in the morning and have their breakfast and they worked until six o' clock in the evening.
It would take a tailor three days to make a suit of clothes at that time.
Corney Hickey, Jack Duggan and Denis Reen were the best tailors around Rathmore. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
