This book is not only about the tailoring industry and its trade unions, it is about the experience of eastern European immigrants in a trade as old as the Bible and yet as new as the electric sewing machine, it is about the role of women in a new industry and about the impact of socio-economic change on fashion. Finally, it is about the way in which sub-divisions and differences were accommodated under the umbrella of one particular trade union.
