This document summarizes the production of textiles and clothing in different time periods from the 1600s to modern day. In the 1600s, people grew flax and hemp for linen and produced wool from sheep to make monochrome clothing by hand. By the 1800s, flax replaced hemp and people began hiring weavers and buying woven clothes as the first textile plants opened. Salt panworkers in the past wore simple homemade clothes like thin cotton shirts and skirts. Now, the globalized textile industry produces clothing commercially using synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, though natural and handmade materials are growing in popularity again.
