Textiles, Clothing, and Footwear

Clothing and footwear to keep the body warm and dry is essential to every person, so industries associated with textiles were always essential.   Manufacture involved much tedious hand, repetitive labor, so much effort and ingenuity was devoted to automation.   Over many years, this was successful in reducing labor time and costs, thus reducing the price of cloth and clothing to make it affordable to everyone.   This subject is divided into (1) textiles, (2) clothing and sewing, and (3) footwear [TBC].
