I found the book I need for Henry VIII's sumptuary laws!
Tudor Royal Proclamations, vol 1 (1485-1553)Unfortunately, I can't access the Fresno County Library system to see if I can ILL the darn book. But I can buy it from a few book sellers, if I want to pay $73.33 minimum for it. I think I will check the county library later when their system is

Cool.

Do you recall or have written down the book title you were going to research in SF? The one that would be on microfiche? I was wondering if it was the same book.

Not the same book; what I was going to look up was:

"The statutes of the realm. Printed by command of His Majesty King George the Third. In pursuance of an address of the House of Commons of Great Britain. From original records and authentic manuscripts." KD129 1810

UC Santa Barbara - JF417.G7 A22 - (v.1-3&v.4pt.1-2&v.5-11)***SHELVED IN OVERSIZE: v.3,v.4 pt.1-2,v.5-11 Some volumes oversize

Hastings (SF Law University) - microfilm - KD130 1101 .G7 1990

From my readings of the Tudor proclamations, it appears to point towards the Statutes of the Realm as the source for what we are looking for. Anything having to do with garments or wool kept referring to it, and otherwise gave very little real info.
