 "At
Halifax there is no cloth made but yearde brode carsies"
Calderdale weavers specialized in making a kind of cloth called
Kersey or "Carsey".
They chose to make Kersey because there was always a ready demand
for them.
It was not too expensive and had a reputation
for being hardwearing, weatherproof and good value. It was used
to make garments for everyday use like coats and jackets.
