European Grain Sack Shawl Collar Chore Jacket Size:S exemplifying the exceptional cotton qualityCirca 1800's European grain sacks were handwoven on narrow looms using fibers produced on family farms. It would take a weaver one night to produce 60 cm in length. Each family had its own distinctive stripe or stamp to ensure the sacks were returned after grain harvests.
