Thread Name: tailors in folk song
Subject: Tailors in folk song
I am compiling some notes about various folk songs and have just written down that tailoring in folk song was seen as an unmanly profession and the but of jokes. Now, I must have got that from reading it somewhere but can't remember where. Can anyone provide chapter and verse?

BTW, it you are a tailor, remember, it's only a song.
