What do your clothes say about you? For George Washington they said: we got this! When taking the presidential oath of office in 1789, Washington wore a suit of entirely American-made cloth, a confident and encouraging statement of self-sufficiency for the newly formed United States. Long Island played a central role in the early American cloth and textile industry, helping the young nation gain economic independence from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War.
