@dieworkwear Since you've gone down the history route, I have to correct you on the bit about madras being an interpretation of Scottish tartans. Madras has a very long history in the subcontinent and as a trade good. We've done a whole fashion history project on it: connectingthreads.co.uk

Lastly, Indian style isn't limited to just well dressed men; it also includes materials and certain production techniques. Most notable is madras, named after the city now called Chennai. Supposedly, this is an Indian interpretation of Scottish tartans.

If it wasn't clear to you before, I hope it's clear to you now: from the ICC to the WTO, international law is respected only when it protects the interests of the global North.

Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom@FashioningSelf

This madras headwrap, now housed in the permanent collection of @LaStateMuseum, was worn by Mary Franklin, an enslaved woman referred to as "Pinkie" by the donor's grandmother Marion Hoey Stem. Following the Civil War, Franklin remained with the donor's grandmother, and the headwrap was preserved, ostensibly as a memento of her imagined loyalty. Crafted from red, yellow, and green woven madras, the headwrap features two selvedge ends and two machine-stitched ends. I will explore the history of this headwrap anf similar objects in my upcoming talk on madras at the @connectthreads symposium at the V&A on October 11: vam.ac.uk/.../connecting…...
