Loose clothes both of cotton and wool were his liking. He believed in everything simple anf unshowy. His main aim was to cover his body.


With the advancement in the art of spinning, weaving and sewing all sort of clothes-silken woolen and cotton, there has been a sea-change. Now the man weaves superfine cl\clothes of all different qualities, patterns and dessigns.Now thw age of coarse and simple cotton cloth is outof place.
