LONGCLOTH

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 974 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LONGCLOTH , a plain
cotton
 
cloth
  originally made in comparatively
long
  pieces. The name was applied particularly to
cloth
  made in India. Longcloth, which is now commonly bleached, comprehends a number of various qualities. It is heavier than
cambric
 , and finer than
medium
  or Mexican. As it is used principally for underclothing and shirts, most of the longcloth sold in
Great
  Britain passes through the hands of the shirt and underclothing manufacturers, who sell to the shopkeepers, though there is still a considerable if decreasing retail
trade
  in piece-goods. The lower kinds of longcloth, which are made from American
cotton
 , correspond in quality to the better kinds of " shirting " made for the
East
 , but the best longcloths are made from Egyptian cotton, and are fine and fairly costly goods.
