This study of clothing during British colonial America examines
items worn by the well-to-do as well as the working poor, the
enslaved, and Native Americans, reconstructing their wardrobes
across social, economic, racial, and geographic boundaries.
Clothing through American History: The British Colonial Era
presents, in six chapters, a description of all aspects of dress in
British colonial America, including the social and historical
background of British America, and covering men's, women's, and
children's garments. The book shows how dress reflected and evolved
with life in British colonial America as primitive settlements gave
way to the growth of towns, cities, and manufacturing of the
pre-Industrial Revolution. Readers will discover that just as in
the present day, what people wore in colonial times represented an
immediate, visual form of communication that often conveyed
information about the real or intended social, economic, legal,
ethnic, and religious status of the wearer. The authors have
gleaned invaluable information from a wide breadth of primary
source materials for all of the colonies: court documents and
colonial legislation; diaries, personal journals, and business
ledgers; wills and probate inventories; newspaper advertisements;
paintings, prints, and drawings; and surviving authentic clothing
worn in the colonies.
