Come and read about
Printed Cotton Bans in the 18th century! Be shocked at the harsh punishments for selling calico, and feel sorry for the poor wool producers (until they start stripping people naked, that is).
Also, if you are so inclined and have 17th century clothing knowledge, please comment on my post about
a jacket in a 1620s portrait, which I'd really like to believe is printed, but probably isn't. Or comment here, I'm not picky.
