A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 315120-08 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Sweaters (Manufacturing) industry dates back to the 15th century when fishermen in the Channel Islands started knitting woolen sweaters to protect themselves from the cold and wet weather. The industry grew in the 19th century when the first knitting machines were invented, and the production of sweaters became more efficient. In the 20th century, the industry saw significant growth due to the popularity of sweaters as a fashion item. In the United States, the industry experienced a boom in the 1950s and 1960s when the demand for sweaters increased due to the rise of the middle class and the popularity of preppy fashion.

However, there has been a growing trend towards sustainable and ethical fashion, which has created new opportunities for the Sweaters (Manufacturing) industry.
