Worn: A People’s History of Clothing by Sofi Thanhauser is a nonfiction history of textiles and garment production that examines clothing as a social, economic, and environmental system rather than a purely aesthetic one. Structured around five major fibers linen, cotton, silk, synthetics, and wool, the book traces how each material has shaped labor, trade, household work, industrial development, and global supply chains. Thanhauser combines historical research, field reporting, and cultural analysis to show how the making of clothes moved from local craft and domestic labor into large-scale industries tied to exploitation, colonial extraction, and ecological damage. The book is less concerned with fashion trends than with the people and conditions behind what we wear. Its purpose is to make the origins of clothing legible, revealing how everyday garments carry hidden histories of labor, gendered work, and environmental cost.
