I've been looking around this site and others and googling.
I want to know what my gggrandfather might have worn in Dumbarton, Scotland in about 1830 - as a working bottlemaker - aged 18.
(And later on in Glasgow 1870, as manager of a bottle factory.)
There is a lot of info about fashion, less about the poor, but almost nothing about ordinary people who were working; and no photos of course at this time (1830) and very few of working people in 1870.
Can anyone point me at information?
