I'm just finishing up this well-received book by Sofi Thanhauser, organized into chapters by fiber families - Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, and Wool. Thanhauser delves into the history and usage of these fibers in clothing, including a welcome exploration of the impact of manufacturing practices on workers and the environment. Moreover, as she writes, “There is scarcely a part of the human experience, historic or current, that the story of clothes does not touch.”
It's an excellent book, despite the lack of images, and is available as an ebook as well.
I hope a paperback will be forthcoming. It's an important and engaging work.
