How did cotton win over linen anyway?

In short, colonialism, slavery and the industrial revolution. In length:

Cotton doesn't grow in Europe so before the Modern Era, cotton was rare and used in small quantities for specific purposes (lining doublets for example). The thing with cotton is, that's it can be printed with dye very easily. The colors are bright and they don't fade easily. With wool and silk fabrics, which were the more traditional fabrics for outer wear in Europe (silk for upper classes of course), patterns usually needed to be embroidered or woven to the cloth to last, which was very expensive. Wool is extremely hard to print to anything detailed that would stay even with modern technology. Silk can be printed easily today with screen printing, but before late 18th century the technique wasn't known in western world (it was invented in China a millenium ago) and the available methods didn't yeld good results.

So when in the late 17th century European trading companies were establishing trading posts in India, a huge producer of cotton fabrics, suddenly cotton was much more available in Europe. Indian calico cotton, which was sturdy and cheap and was painted or printed with colorful and intricate floral patters, chintz, especially caught on and became very fashionable. The popular Orientalism of the time also contributed to it becoming fasionable, chintz was seen as "exotic" and therefore appealing.

Here's a typical calico jacket from late 18th century. The ones in European markets often had white background, but red background was also fairly common.

The problem with this was that this was not great for the business of the European fabric producers, especially silk producers in France and wool producers in England, who before were dominating the European textile market and didn't like that they now had competition. So European countries imposed trade restrictions for Indian cotton, England banning cotton almost fully in 1721. Since the introduction of Indian cottons, there had been attempts to recreate it in Europe with little success. They didn't have nearly advanced enough fabric printing and cotton weaving techniques to match the level of Indian calico. Cotton trade with India didn't end though. The European trading companies would export Indian cottons to West African market to fund the trans-Atlantic slave trade that was growing quickly. European cottons were also imported to Africa. At first they didn't have great demand as they were so lacking compared to Indian cotton, but by the mid 1700s quality of English cotton had improved enough to be competitive.

Inventions in industrial textile machinery, specifically spinning jenny in 1780s and water frame in 1770s, would finally give England the advantages they needed to conquer the cotton market. These inventions allowed producing very cheap but good quality cotton and fabric printing, which would finally produce decent imitations of Indian calico in large quantities. Around the same time in mid 1700s, The East Indian Company had taken over Bengal and soon following most of the Indian sub-continent, effectively putting it under British colonial rule (but with a corporate rule dystopian twist). So when industrialized English cotton took over the market, The East India Company would suppress Indian textile industry to utilize Indian raw cotton production for English textile industry and then import cotton textiles back to India. In 1750s India's exports were mainly fine cotton and silk, but during the next century Indian export would become mostly raw materials. They effectively de-industrialized India to industrialize England further.

India, most notably Bengal area, had been an international textile hub for millennia, producing the finest cottons and silks with extremely advance techniques. Loosing cotton textile industry devastated Indian local economies and eradicated many traditional textile craft skills. Perhaps the most glaring example is that of Dhaka muslin. Named after the city in Bengal it was produced in, it was extremely fine and thin cotton requiring very complicated and time consuming spinning process, painstakingly meticulous hand-weaving process and a very specific breed of cotton. It was basically transparent as seen depicted in this Mughal painting from early 17th century.

It was used by e.g. the ancient Greeks, Mughal emperors and, while the methods and it's production was systematically being destroyed by the British to squash competition, it became super fashionable in Europe. It was extremely expensive, even more so than silk, which is probably why it became so popular among the rich. In 1780s Marie Antoinette famously and scandalously wore chemise a la reine made from multiple layers of Dhaka muslin. In 1790s, when the empire silhouette took over, it became even more popular, continuing to the very early 1800s, till Dhaka muslin production fully collapsed and the knowledge and skill to produce it were lost. But earlier this year, after years lasting research to revive the Dhaka muslin funded by Bangladeshi government, they actually recreated it after finding the right right cotton plant and gathering spinners and weavers skilled in traditional craft to train with it. (It's super cool and I'm making a whole post about it (it has been in the making for months now) so I won't extend this post more.)

Marie Antoinette in the famous painting with wearing Dhaka muslin in 1783, and empress Joséphine Bonaparte in 1801 also wearing Dhaka muslin.

While the trans-Atlantic slave trade was partly funded by the cotton trade and industrial English cotton, the slave trade would also be used to bolster the emerging English cotton industry by forcing African slaves to work in the cotton plantations of Southern US. This produced even more (and cheaper (again slave labor)) raw material, which allowed the quick upward scaling of the cotton factories in Britain. Cotton was what really kicked off the industrial revolution, and it started in England, because they colonized their biggest competitor India and therefore were able to take hold of the whole cotton market and fund rapid industrialization.

Eventually the availability of cotton, increase in ready-made clothing and the luxurious reputation of cotton lead to cotton underwear replacing linen underwear (and eventually sheets) (the far superior option for the reasons I talked about here) in early Victorian Era. Before Victorian era underwear was very practical, just simple rectangles and triangles sewn together. It was just meant to protect the outer clothing and the skin, and it wasn't seen anyway, so why put the relatively scarce resources into making it pretty? Well, by the mid 1800s England was basically fully industrialized and resource were not scarce anymore. Middle class was increasing during the Victorian Era and, after the hard won battles of the workers movement, the conditions of workers was improving a bit. That combined with decrease in prices of clothing, most people were able to partake in fashion. This of course led to the upper classes finding new ways to separate themselves from lower classes. One of these things was getting fancy underwear. Fine cotton kept the fancy reputation it had gained first as an exotic new commodity in late 17th century and then in Regency Era as the extremely expensive fabric of queens and empresses. Cotton also is softer than linen, and therefore was seen as more luxurious against skin. So cotton shifts became the fancier shifts. At the same time cotton drawers were becoming common additional underwear for women.

It wouldn't stay as an upper class thing, because as said cotton was cheap and available. Ready-made clothing also helped spread the fancier cotton underwear, as then you could buy fairly cheaply pretty underwear and you didn't even have to put extra effort into it's decoration. At the same time cotton industry was massive and powerful and very much eager to promote cotton underwear as it would make a very steady and long lasting demand for cotton.

In conclusion, cotton has a dark and bloody history and it didn't become the standard underwear fabric for very good reasons.

Here's couple of excellent sources regarding the history of cotton industry:

(Extremely Belated) Zelinktines Day 23: Formal Wear

There are already so many lovely arts out there of Zelink in various Western formal wear, historial and modern, so I thought I'd try something that I'm uniquely positioned to contribute ☺️

The source for this idea comes from @fuwafuwallen's lovely designs of a Chinese-style HW Link and Zelda, based off of this alternate Dynasty Warriors-esque concept art from early development. And when it comes to "formal wear" in traditional Chinese fasion... well, it basically has to be wedding outfits 😛 There's a lot more I could say about this but first... 😴 time

my dumb ass. despite having lived in this country for my whole life, somehow forgot while reading this book that public school in the UK =/= public school elsewhere. I was thinking in American terms and thought that Public school meant it was free to the general public, whereas actually it means available to the general public who can pay the fees.

So the whole time they were at this super posh old fasioned school, I was wondering why a Public school would be so strict with so many weird traditions. Turns out it is a paid school for rich boys. smh

#for cultural context 'private' school in the UK originally meant it was only available to children of the upper class #so even if you had the money you couldn't pay your way in #then 'public' school was one that was available to anyone in the public who could pay the fees #then state school is for everyone for free #I've worded this so badly but somehow can't find any better way to say it #personal #liveblogging In Memoriam

@madefate asked: ❛  i'm here for you. no matter where or when i'll always be here for you.  ❜ / jason @ frank!

an institution as old as the roman legion was going to need time to change. lots of time. maybe more time than frank had to give. there was pushback to each and every one of his reforms, and it did not matter how well written his speeches were, or how thoughtful his changes were meant to be. there was always going to be someone who thought he was desecrating the very foundations of the legion itself.

there were about a hundred reasons why a group of ancient and old-fasioned senators might not want to listen to him. he was chinese, trans, had ancestors that were responsible for some serious roman no-no's, and had a base level understanding of the internet (the source of all evil).

but frank was relentless. he wanted nothing but the best for his people now that he was meant to lead them. he would protect the young ones. he would do away with cruel tactics and traditions. he would make the legion something to be proud of.

that did not mean it was easy.

when jason visited, frank was beyond ecstatic. it was great to see an old friend again, particularly one as understanding as jason grace. when they had slipped away from the rest of the legionnaires, lounging in the praetor's office alone, frank found himself ranting more than he had meant to.

they're old, and they're stubborn, and they would run this legion into the ground if it meant maintaining tradition!

jason's promise caught frank off guard, and his lip trembled briefly before he bit down on it to keep his composure.

"jason, i- that means a lot, especially coming from you. i really can't tell you how good it is to hear you say that." frank let out a breath, smiling at his friend with all the warmth he could muster. "i've got your back too, you know that right? we can't rebuild this world for the better without friends, can we?"

So, I have just started Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities...haven’t even started the episode proper, and I just had to stop and say that the credit sequence is better looking than most movies made today.

And it looks like del Toro is going to be introducing each episode like he’s Rod Serling or The Crypt keeper and I love it.

OK.  On to the actual episode now.

So I was in the ER today for reasons I am not getting into and in ER fasion it was IV time, I needed blood work and they needed a way to give me some meds and fluids. I got to be part training, I LOVE being able to help people with medical training, but occasionally things go a bit awry.

They were training to use a new ultrasound vein finder and really it is a great idea, not for me because I have the most obvious veins thanks to thin skin that never sees the sun, but for people with deep veins this in theory makes the process a lot smoother. It was not, they found my vein and then somehow missed and had to move the needle around under my skin which fucking HURT, but eventually they seemed to get everything in place...and then they couldn't get blood out. Ok maybe time to flush the line...and now I have a bubble of saline under my skin that hurts. It was a complete fail.

Another nurse came in later get me all hooked up in the traditional method using a tourniquet and jab and other than making a massive blood lake it seemed fine. An hour later another nurse came back and said that not enough blood got collected and she couldn't use the IV line so my other arm got blood drawn. I left the ER with three new holes and they are already bruising wildly. At least the person being trained on X-rays didn't have any grief.

All About Clothes

Traditional Style Clothes and Dress - Hanfu

Hanfu is the Mandarin word for traditional dress that originates from the Han Dynasty, which is before the Qing dynasty. These have been increasing in popularity as some cultural revival has been underway to stay connected to one's ancestors.

There are cultural differences between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditional garments. In China, the Hanfu is signified by a signature wrap technique - the left side is wrapped over the right one to make a Y-shaped neckline. They usually have a relaxed fit.

Business Dress Etiquette

Business dress etiquette is similar to the American business professional. China used to have a unisex business uniform that resembles a suit, but with Westernization of the eastern world, they have moved to more modern suits. Suits could also mean a modest skirt and blouse for women.

Street Style Chinese Fasion

Chinese street fashion combines traditional patterns and elements into worldwide street style and current fashion trends. Fashion used to be used to determine social status, but now has evolved more into self-expression and identity.

Western fashion is a big influence on street style. This western influence is shown through fast-fashion brands exploding throughout the fashion landscape. Fast fashion brands are brands, such as Shein, that are typically made of the cheapest material with dubious labor methods (child labor :(.) (allegedly).

School Uniforms

The school uniform started as a way to unify the education system in China in the early 1900's. With the revolution for a more modern system, the instituted the uniform. They evolved from an attire involving a hat, large silk shirt, formal jacket, and skirt to what looks like a track suit now.

Since the new republic of China was instated (1950's), school children can be seen always wearing a red scarf around their neck. This signifies the Chinese history of being a 'young pioneer' for the emerging government.

Since the 1960's, the government then turned to an all-green outfit. This helped transition the children into the military. It also helped serve as another unifying thing in the culture.
