I enjoyed learning more about different fabrics to make clothes plus the long process to integrate them into clothes and the history of these fabrics. It's well-written and I got out of a reading slump once I found the library book under the bed.
Worn is such an excellent and comprehensive history of cloth, clothing and the people that make them.
It’s an extremely dense book, but the author does a really great job about centering the humans that hold up the clothing industry. It’s not just a total info dump, each aspect of the industry is told through the experience of the people the author has met all over the world while researching for the book.
This personal approach to history, economics and society really makes the book engaging. I listened to this on audio so there’s definitely points I glazed over a bit, but it was interesting enough that I’d love to listen again to really soak up the soak up the details.
