Scope and Content

Each sample is labeled with the Burlington Men's Wear Worsted Department logo, as well as the catalog number, width, and weight of the fabric. Each sample set, 3-5 pieces, is held together with two brass brads with a plastic spacer between the fabric and head of the brad to protect the fabric and keep the head from going through. Samples like this might have been shown to customers when picking fabric for custom clothing such as suiting.
