What does traditional British tweed industry mean

Tweed is a thicker and denser woolen fabric, mostly used to make uniforms and coats.

The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Britain, Netherland (Holland) and other countries of the wool weaving industry is very prosperous, the demand for wool surge, sheep breeding has become a very lucrative line of work. Landowners in the United Kingdom had their own land and public **** land with fences to graze sheep, and forcibly enclosure of farmers' land. The peasants lost the land on which they depended to feed their families, and wandered to strange places with their young and old. This is the "sheep eat people" "enclosure movement" in the bloody history of British capitalism.

To a certain extent, it promoted the development of the germ of capitalism.
