"Superior American Negro Cloths" advertised in a Charleston, South Carolina newspaper in 1826
Negro cloth or Lowell cloth was a coarse and strong cloth used for slaves' clothing in the West Indies and the Southern Colonies.[1][2][3] The cloth was imported from Europe (primarily Wales) in the 18th and 19th centuries.[4][5]
The name Lowell cloth came from the town Lowell in Massachusetts, United States, where the cloth was produced.[6]
