The Tailor’s Craft

August 26, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free
A man in brown colonial clothing holding a strip of paper and peering at it in front of a table covered in a green cloth.

Clothing historian Henry Cooke takes on the role of an early Boston tailor. Watch as he “takes the measure” of visitors, then sits cross-legged, fashioning waistcoats from luxurious fabrics and “slops” from coarse weaves.

A black and white engraving or sketch of an 18th century tailor measuring someone for new clothes.
