In England, even as the agents of the East India Company
grew rich importing cotton, the English wool industry
raised a hue and cry over the impact of cotton on the
domestic economy. The problem from the perspective of
the wool industry was simple: clothing made of Indian
cotton was more comfortable and attractive to Britain's
expanding 'middling sort' in the seventeenth century than
were most woolens. The East India Company shipped
ever-increasing amounts of cotton back to Britain, making
its shareholders and the new clothiers who worked in
cotton very wealthy. The wool industry, however, suffered
as more and more people embraced the new fabric for their
daily needs. Several times during the seventeenth century
powerful interest groups interceded before parliament and
the monarch, demanding, and often getting, stiff import
duties on Indian cotton in an effort to buoy the wool trade.
The most amusing manifestation of the legal attempt to
shore up woolens was when parliament passed a bill in
1678 mandating that corpses had to be wrapped in wool
when they were buried in a Church of England funeral.
Another somewhat bizarre incident was the official legal
requirement that Scottish kilts be woven from thirteen
yards of wool. Overnight, every Scot serving in the military
had to be clothed in a huge swath of wool.
