Blue dye

Blue dye Written by Margaret S (4/29/2007 6:50 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Bingley's Blue Coat, penned by JulieW

Wow! I had no idea that wearing a blue coat displayed political affiliations. Thanks Julie for the article!

I believe that blue dye had to be imported making blue clothing more expensive and hence a status symbol.

I wonder if black horses were more expensive than other.
