    Flour Sack shirt & pants

    My first memory of Negril is buying a Flour sack shirt from a road side
    vendor (down by Ms Mary's) wore it until i fell apart. Anyone know
    of a local that still makes them?

    I'd love one of those. I don't think I have ever seen any for sale, I would definitely buy/wear that.

    Sweet! Definitely my kind of true designer clothing!!! Unique, long lasting and fashionable....and quite affordable! Some innovative Jamaican could bring this line back to the sales racks and make a nice profit today!! Thanks for the great old school photos!

    I had some flour sack pants in the early 70's but they were from India, not Jamaica.

    It used to be that a lot of women in Negril sewed so all they needed was the material and they banged them out. Not sure if flour in JA is even handled in cloth sack as back in the old days. If the sack clothing could be found in JA most likely in Kingston at Devon House Shops.
