This book explains the history of British occupational c.1750-1950
- a period that saw the decline of many traditional forms of
employment, the emergence of new jobs and the reorganisation of
various roles to meet the changing demands of the workplace and
wider society. Dress is a potent expression of human existence and
the diverse occupational gear worn over reflects vividly the daily
working lives of past generations. Drawing on historical material
and new internet resources, this guide demonstrates the adaptation
of regular clothes for manual tasks, development of civilian
uniforms and evolution of protective garments. Including the dress
of agricultural labourer, fisher folk, domestic servants, miners,
mill workers and more, it should be of particular interest to
family historians researching ancestors' occupations, as well as
costume enthusiasts and designers.
