History of apparel industry

As early as 1860, manufacturing ready-to-wear clothing became one of Cleveland’s leading industries. The garment industry probably reached its peak during the 1920s, when Cleveland ranked close to New York as one of the country’s leading centers for garment production during the depression, and continuing after World War II, the garment industry in Cleveland declined. Scores of plants moved out of the area that was sold or closed their doors local factors certainly played their part, but the rise of the ready-to-wear industry in Cleveland and its decline paralleled the growth and fall of the industry nationwide. Thus, the story of the garment industry in Cleveland is a local or regional variant of a much broader phenomenon. In the early 19th century, clothing was still handmade, produced for the family by women, or estimated for the more well-to-do by tailors and sewists. The first production of ready-to-wear garments was stimulated by the needs of sailors’ slaves, and miners. Although still hand-produced, this early ready-to-wear industry laid the foundations for the vast expansion and mechanization of the industry. For various reasons, the ready-to-wear sector grew enormously from the 1860s to the 1880s; increasing mechanization was one factor. In addition, systems for sizing man’s and boy’s clothing were highly developed, based on millions of measurements obtained by the U.S. during the civil war. Eventually, accurate sizing for women’s clothing was also designed. Industrial cities such as Cleveland also experienced rapid growth, and it was during the 19th and early deceases of the 20th century period that Cleveland’s ready-to-wear clothing industry blossomed.
