  • Textiles for Dress 1800-1920
    Draft version only: not the publisher’s typeset P.A. Sykas: Textiles for dress 1800-1920 Textile fabrics are conceived by the manufacturer in terms of their material composition and processes of production, but perceived by the consumer firstly in terms of appearance and handle. Both are deeply involved in the economic and cultural issues behind the wearing of cloth: cost, quality, meaning. We must look from these several perspectives in order to understand the drivers behind the introduction of fabrics to the market, and the collective response to them in the form of fashion. A major preoccupation during our time frame was novelty. On the supply side, novelty gave a competitive edge, stimulated fashion change and accelerated the cycle of consumption. On the demand side, novelty provided pleasure, a way to get noticed, and new social signifiers. But novelty can act in contradictory ways: as an instrument for sustaining a fashion elite by facilitating costly style changes, and as an agent for breaking down fashion barriers by making elite modes more affordable. It can drive fashion both by promoting new looks, and later by acting to make those looks outmoded. During the long nineteenth century, the desire for novelty was supported by the widely accepted philosophical view of progress: that new also implied improved or more advanced, hence that novelty was a reflection of modernity. This chapter examines textiles for dress from 1800 to 1920, a period that completed the changeover from hand-craft to machine production, and through Europe’s imperial ambitions, saw the reversal of East/West trading patterns.

  • Materialising Cultures: West African Diasporan En- Gagement with African Print in Britain
    Oboh, Ehinomen (2018)Materialising cultures: West African diasporan en- gagement with African print in Britain. Doctoral thesis (PhD), Manchester Metropolitan University. Downloaded from: http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/622448/ Usage rights: Creative Commons: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Deriva- tive Works 4.0 Please cite the published version http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Materialising Cultures: West African diasporan engagement with African print in Britain A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Ehinomen Oboh Manchester School of Art Manchester Metropolitan University October 2018 Abstract This thesis addresses a gap in our knowledge about the shifting meanings and practices associated with dress as it moves into diasporic cultural surroundings. Specifically, it looks at West African diasporans living in Britain (WADIB) and their engagements with African print. It does so by gathering stories of WADIB clothing experiences, alongside images of how they acquire, make, wear and keep their clothes. Academic research until recently has focused on dress in Africa, but largely ignored the contemporary use of African prints among diasporan communities. By moving beyond the African setting into a diaspora setting, this research expands our understanding of how meaning in dress is shaped, re-shaped, and more generally, the interrelationship of people and clothes, thus, contributing towards scholarship on contemporary dress in changing cultural contexts. This research also adds the African dress perspective to studies of transnational lives from the standpoint of other diasporans. This study reveals African print as largely a special occasion dress within the British diaspora unlike how it is used on the African continent.

The an uneven finish. It is used widely in knits as the fabric has the same fabric is often lighter and softer than normal or corduroy fabric. It is cozy look as wool. Acrylic fabric is favored for a variety of reasons very soft and comfortable, and is often made in a stretch quality. it is warm, quite soft, holds color well, is both stain and wrinkle resistant and it doesn’t itch. These qualities make acrylic a great BLEND substitute for wool. A blend fabric or yarn is made up of more than one fibre. In the yarn, two or more different types of fibres are used to form the yarn. ALPACA Blends are used to create a more comfortable fabric with a softer Alpaca wool comes from a South American animal that roams the feel. A good example is a cotton/wool blend; the mixture of cotton mountain slopes of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The fleece and wool will prevent the fabric from being excessively warm and from an alpaca is similar to wool or mohair, but is softer, silkier, and will make the fabric softer to the skin. warmer. Because alpaca wool takes much longer to grow it is often more expensive and exclusive. However, garments made from this BOUCLE fabric are stronger and more comfortable. The term boucle is derived from the French word boucle, which literally means “to curl”.

  • The Silk Industry in Dublin by John Joseph Webb in VI.B.8
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 19 (Spring 2019) The Silk Industry in Dublin by John Joseph Webb in VI.B.8 Ian MacArthur and Viviana-Mirela Braslasu Industrial Dublin Since 1698 & The Silk Industry in Dublin - Two Essays by J. J. Webb, published in 1913, can be found online1. The major question as to whether this was Joyce’s source is a difficult one and may never be resolved unless an alternative is found. It seems possible, from the sparing use that Joyce made of J. J. Webb’s book (he only used material from the second essay), that it may be just the source of his source. Perhaps Joyce found an abstract or digest version published later in a magazine or elsewhere. Still, there is an exact correspondence between the notebook entries below, the order recorded, and the text of the above essay. Dublin was at one time famous for its silk industry which had been transplanted from France by Huguenots in the seventeenth century. From a historic point of view, this new enterprise had a major impact on the city itself and on the lives of the people living there. It also brought about a change in costume when silk and poplin became the main fabrics for clothes and ties. Such an important step in the development of the city and in the evolution of the Irish dress could not have been overlooked by Joyce. For the early drafts of Anna Livia Plurabelle, Joyce read and harvested new material related to Dublin’s former booming industry. Entries such as ‘creases of silk’ (JJA 48:064), ‘poplin ties’ (JJA 48:070) or ‘every warp’ and ‘weaver’s year’ (JJA 48:094) suggest Joyce’s interest in the subject.

  • Cloth Mask Breathability and Filtration Efficiency Technical Report 1
    N95Decon Research Document. Not Peer Reviewed. Version 1.0, 8/6/2020 Cloth Mask Breathability and Filtration Efficiency Technical Report 1. Executive Summary The present scientific evidence indicates that mask-wearing by the public is an effective measure for reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 due to a combination of droplet (>5 um) and aerosol protection (<5 um). Given that many varieties of cloth mask are effective at reducing transmission via large droplets, any mask is better than no mask. Mask use should be strongly encouraged to be used in conjunction with measures such as physical distancing. This report focuses primarily on the material considerations for designing cloth masks which protect against transmission via smaller droplets and aerosols in addition to protecting against transmission via larger droplets. Better understanding the respective risks of aerosol transmission compared to large droplet transmission for SARS-CoV-2 is an area of developing study. In this report, we compare studies of different materials that could be used to make homemade masks, with the goal of (1) summarizing both qualitative findings for what materials may provide a greater degree of aerosol protection for homemade masks and (2) identifying gaps in the scientific literature for future study. We consider all literature that evaluated the breathability and filtration efficiency of materials that could be used for homemade masks. It should be noted that the studies reviewed only evaluated the material and did not study leakage that can occur at the side of the mask once it is on a person’s face. Mask fit is a critical element in the overall effectiveness of any mask and masks should be designed to minimize leakage around the sides and by the nose.

  • Identifying Woven Textiles 1750-1950 Identification
    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.
