    There is only one tailor in the district now. His name is Patrick Harte and he lives in the Quarry-Hall Grenagh. He works at his home and he does not travel from house to house.
    The tailor stocks cloth. The cloth is spun in Blarney Mill. People wear clothes made of such cloth. Serge and tweed are the types of cloth used. The implements the tailor uses are, a sewing machine, an iron presser, thread, scissors, needles, tape, chalk, and a lap-board.
    Shirts are made in in the homes. The types of cloth used are flannel and flannelette. Shirts were made of grey, calico spun from flax which was grown in olden times.
