A 1931 trade article from The Melliand Textile Monthly describing cotton fabric constructions for work clothing, including colored overall cloths, uniform twills, Bedford cord, napped suitings, stock-dyed twills, imitation worsted trousering and a 'Frenchback' cloth with an extra warp. For each fabric it gives the weave, width, ends and picks per inch, yarn counts, weight per yard, dyeing and finishing requirements. Photographs of swatches illustrate each type.
