  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    In this district they are two tailors, who make clothes in their own homes. People buy the material in the shops and bring it to tailors, who make the suits.
    Years ago, tailors used to travel from house to house, but this is stopped now. Tailors do not stock cloth in this district, nor has any cloth been spun or woven around here for years.
    Tailor's houses are great centres of gossip, where are discussed all kinds of topics.
