SUMMARY:Mill Talk: The Hidden History of Suits
DESCRIPTION:The classic men’s dark tailored suit and crisp white shirt may look plain\, but they are actually triumphs of 19th-century engineering. In this talk\, dress historian Chloe Chapin takes us “behind the seams” to explore the mechanical\, technological\, and chemical innovations that made suits possible. \nFrom the river-powered machines of New England’s textile mills to the caustic\, labor-intensive chemistry of early bleacheries\, we will uncover the hidden industrial technologies required to produce the simple uniform that clothed the nation. \nDrawing from her 2026 book\, “Suitable: The Sartorial Revolution and the Fashioning of Modern Men\,” Chapin reveals how the Industrial Revolution fashioned modern men. \nFree to the public\, but registration required. This event has sold out.
