The British Wool Textile Industry, 1770-1914
Author: D. T. Jenkins
Publisher: Aldershot, England : Scolar Press : Pasold Research Fund
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This book analyses the progress and performance of the wool textile industry, both nationally and in various regions where it was concentrated. It examines the development of the industry in terms of its structure and location, its transition to factory production, its use of raw materials and new technology, and the variety of its finished products. It considers the competitive position of the industry in home and foreign markets both in the halcyon days of trade expansion and in the changing economic circumstances after 1870. The authors review the differing fortunes of woollens and worsteds, the rise of low woollens and the decline of some of the traditional wool textile manufacturing districts. Whilst highlighting the difficulties encountered by the industry, the overall conclusion of the volume is an optimistic one in terms of entrepreneurial performance and adaptability in production methods and to market circumstances.It is the first overall study of the economic history of the industry nationally from the Industrial Revolution to the First World War. The volume will be of great interest to economic historians and to all interested in the history of technology, the development of design, costume and fashion and to local historians in those many parts of Britain where wool textile manufacture was carried out.

Fashionability
Author: Regina Lee Blaszczyk
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526119323
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
Fashion studies is a burgeoning field that often highlights the contributions of genius designers and high-profile brands with little reference to what goes on behind the scenes in the supply chain. This book pulls back the curtain on the global fashion system of the past 200 years to examine the relationship between the textile mills of Yorkshire – the firms that provided the entire Western world with warm wool fabrics – and their customers. It is a microhistory of a single firm, Abraham Moon and Sons Ltd, that sheds light on important macro questions about British industry, government policies on international trade, the role of multi-generational family firms and the place of design and innovation in business strategy. It is the first book to connect Yorkshire tweeds to the fashion system. Written in lively, accessible prose, this book will appeal to anyone who works in fashion or who wears fashion. There is nothing like it – and it will raise the bar for historical studies of global fashion. Here you’ll find intriguing stories about a tweed theft from the Leeds Coloured Cloth Hall, debates on tariffs and global trade, the battle against synthetic fibres and the reinvention of British tweeds around heritage marketing. You won’t be bored.

Employers and Labour in the English Textile Industries, 1850-1939
Author: J. A. Jowitt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429828438
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
First published in 1988. This collection of essays examines aspects of labour and industrial relations history in the textiles sector of Northern England during the mature phase of industrialisation before World War One and the period of retrenchment during the interwar economic recession. There are chapters on wool, worsted, silk, cotton spinning and weaving, and cotton finishing. The volume includes contributions by historians interested in employers’ organisations and management strategies, labour, trade union and women’s history. As such it provides a broader framework in which relationships between capital and labour are analysed. The book also incorporates some of the recent research on particularly neglected areas of social history, most notably on women workers and on the industrial relations policies of employers in textiles.
