The shirt on your back

One of the many things I love about Brunswick is the heritage of the Clothing and Textile industry. Like many other people, I grieve the loss of this sector. It is great that there are some local revivals of this tradition, such as the Olive Grove Studios and Otto and Spike. But as far as I know, there is little public documentation or celebration of the history of the garment manufacture industry in Brunswick.
