The Tailor’s Craft
September 14 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Clothing historian Henry Cooke takes on the role of an early Boston tailor, perhaps one like Paul Revere’s brother, John Revere. Watch as he “takes the measure” of visitors, then sits cross-legged, fashioning waistcoats from luxurious fabrics and “slops” from coarse weaves. Find out how the 1774 closure of the Port of Boston affected residents’ clothing options!
